To provide a vehicle control device capable of accurately performing vehicle control by recognizing a traffic lane.SOLUTION: A vehicle control section 36 estimates a first traffic lane 60 on the basis of a position of an object other than a traveling traffic lane 50 being recognized by a recognition section 34 when the recognition section 34 cannot recognize the traveling traffic lane 50, estimates a second traffic lane 64 on the basis of the traveling traffic lane 50 that has been recognized before the recognition section 34 cannot recognize the traveling traffic lane 50, and performs vehicle control with the use of at least one of the first traffic lane 60 and the second traffic lane 64 when a difference D2 between the first traffic lane 60 and the second traffic lane 64 is within a predetermined range D2th.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】車線を認識して行われる車両制御を高精度に行うことができる車両制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両制御部３６は、認識部３４が走行車線５０を認識できない場合に、認識部３４が認識する走行車線５０以外のオブジェクトの位置に基づいて第１車線６０を推定すると共に、認識部３４が走行車線５０を認識できなくなる前に認識していた走行車線５０に基づいて第２車線６４を推定し、第１車線６０と第２車線６４との差異Ｄ２が所定範囲Ｄ２ｔｈ内である場合に第１車線６０と第２車線６４の少なくとも一方を用いて車両制御を行う。【選択図】図３
