To provide a vehicle brake control device to work for automatic braking to be actuated when a colliding hazard is generated, capable of conducting a stable vehicle running control irrespective of any change in the road surface situation or the maneuvering operation made by the driver during automatic braking.

Judgement is passed that whether the vehicle is to be decelerated on the basis of the entered information (S106), and braking is applied when the judgement is "to decelerate", and the braking force at this time is set a certain rate smaller than the presumed maximum braking force obtained on the basis of the road surface friction coefficient (S110).
