The present invention provides a vehicle control device which prevents the erroneous determination of an engine restart. The vehicle control device controls a vehicle having a transmission by which torque is transmitted from a drive source. The vehicle control device includes a drive source control means for outputting a command for automatically stopping the drive source when a first predetermined condition is satisfied and outputting a command for restarting the drive source when a second predetermined condition is not satisfied after the command for automatically stopping the drive source is outputted; a drive source restart determination means for determining that the drive source has restarted when a third predetermined condition is satisfied after the command for restarting the drive source is outputted; and a restart determination prohibition means for prohibiting restart determination by the drive source restart determination means at least until the third predetermined condition is not satisfied when the third predetermined condition is satisfied and the command for restarting the drive source is outputted.
