An intake air amount control system for an internal combustion engine, which is capable of reducing energy for driving a variable intake lift mechanism, and properly controlling an intake air amount during an auto cruise operation. The intake air amount control system for the engine holds a lift of an intake valve at a predetermined lift by holding a target lift at the predetermined lift when it is determined that a vehicle is in the auto cruise operation. This reduces energy required for an intake lift actuator which drives the variable intake lift mechanism, and suppresses heat generated by a motor of the intake lift actuator. Further, during the auto cruise operation, by changing a throttle valve opening, the intake air amount is properly controlled.
