An engine control apparatus waits to stop the engine of a hybrid vehicle until the vehicle is in a condition to be able to start moving properly. An engine control apparatus for a vehicle, having a continuously variable transmission, coupled to an engine which generates a drive force, for driving wheels, so that, when the vehicle is in a stop-event, to enable stopping or restarting of operation of the engine in response to specific driving conditions, comprising: a fuel supply cut device for stopping operation of the engine while continuing to cut supply of fuel to the engine, when the vehicle is in a deceleration event; a vehicle velocity detector for detecting a traveling velocity of the vehicle; and a deceleration detector for detecting deceleration of the vehicle, wherein the fuel supply cut device reverts from a fuel supply cut condition when a traveling velocity of the vehicle detected by the vehicle velocity detector is lower than a predetermined velocity and a deceleration detected by the deceleration detector is higher than a predetermined deceleration.
