PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrict obstruction by steering reaction force to steering operation by a driver. SOLUTION: The steering control device 10 comprises an obstacle detecting means 1a for detecting an obstacle Z within a predetermined range from a vehicle, a travelling locus predicting means 1b for predicting a travelling locus of the vehicle in future, a contact determining means 1c for determining whether the vehicle is being brought in contact with the obstacle Z or not based on the obstacle Z detected by the obstacle detecting means 1a and the travelling locus predicted by the travelling locus predicting means 1b, and a steering reaction force control means 1d for controlling so as to increase the steering reaction force against the steering operation when steering operated in a direction wherein the vehicle is being brought in contact with the obstacle Z detected by the obstacle detecting means 1a. When the contact determining means 1c determines whether the vehicle is being brought in contact with the obstacle Z detected first by the obstacle detecting means 1a, the steering reaction force control means 1d, desirably, does not perform the control to increase the steering reaction force.
