A cylinder disabling control apparatus for a multi-cylinder engine is provided which is capable of efficiently reducing the exhaust gas of the engine immediately after the starting thereof. The cylinder disabling control apparatus includes a variety of sensors (2, 3, 12-14, and 16), a catalytic converter (17) and a cylinder disabling control element (21) for inhibiting or stopping fuel supplied to the at least one specific cylinder in accordance with the engine operating conditions. The variety of sensors includes a water temperature sensor (14) for detecting a temperature of cooling water (WT). When the temperature (WT) upon starting of the engine 6 is equal to or higher than a first predetermined temperature (WT1), the cylinder disabling control element (21) performs cylinder disabling control on the at least one specific cylinder until a predetermined time has elapsed immediately after the starting of the engine (6).
