There is provided a power transmission control device provided in a power transmission device included in a contactless power transmission system in which power is transmitted from the power transmission device to a power receiving device by electromagnetically coupling an elementary coil and a secondary coil and the power is supplied to a load of the power receiving device. The power transmission control device includes a load state detection circuit that detects a load state of the power receiving device on the basis of a first signal from a first end of a resonance capacitor forming a resonant circuit with the elementary coil and a second signal from a second end of the resonance capacitor.
