To provide a vehicle control device and a parking support system that can restrict positional deviation of a vehicle relative to a power transmission device, even in an environment where the power transmission device cannot be directly recognized from the vehicle.SOLUTION: Provided is a vehicle control device 14 for controlling a vehicle 10 loaded with a power reception device 28 so that the vehicle is parked at a parking target position where power can be received from a power transmission device 50 installed outside the vehicle. In controlling the vehicle, the vehicle control device: recognizes a recognition target object installed at a position away from the power transmission device 50; grasps relative positions of the recognition target object and the vehicle; receives information on the relative positions of the recognition target object and the power transmission device 50 from the power transmission device 50; calculates a path to the parking target position by using the information on the relative positions of the recognition target object and the vehicle 10 grasped by a vehicle position grasping part 17, and information on the relative positions of the recognition target object and the power transmission device 50 received by a vehicle communication part 22; and moves the vehicle along the path.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】車両から送電装置が直接認識できない環境であっても、送電装置に対する車両の位置ずれを抑制できる車両制御装置及び駐車支援システムを提供する。【解決手段】車両制御装置１４は、受電装置２８が搭載された車両１０を車外に設置された送電装置５０から受電可能な駐車目標位置に駐車させる制御を行うものであり、送電装置５０から離間した位置に設置された認識目標物体を認識し、認識目標物体と車両との相対位置を把握し、認識目標物体と送電装置５０との相対位置の情報を送電装置５０から受信し、車両位置把握部１７により把握した認識目標物体と車両１０との相対位置の情報及び車両通信部２２により受信した認識目標物体と送電装置５０との相対位置の情報を用いて駐車目標位置までの経路を演算し、経路に沿って車両を移動させる制御を行う。【選択図】図１
