A laser power control apparatus and method prevent fluctuation in the level of laser power due to a difference between reaction speeds of an automatic power controller according to write speeds of a disc drive. In the apparatus and method, laser power can be automatically controlled to prevent a variation in the level of laser diode driving voltage in read power periods, according to the write speeds of a disc drive, in a write mode. Thus, it is possible to prevent unstable operations of a servo circuit due to a variation of the level of laser power and further, prevent deterioration in the quality of the servo circuit due to a variation in the level of a wobble signal, thereby stabilizing recording characteristics of the disc drive.
