A control device for an engine, the control device includes an ECU. The ECU is configured to: (i) perform switching between a first/second operation, the first operation is a first operation and the second operation is an operation with cylinder deactivation; (ii) determine operation points where vibration based on the operational state of the engine is equal to or lower than a predetermined value when performing the first/second operation; (iii) determine which one of a thermal efficiency in the operation point in case of performing the first operation and a thermal efficiency in the operation point in case of performing the second operation is higher; and (iv) control the operational state of the engine so as to operate in the operation point where the thermal efficiency is determined to be higher. |
