A stabilizer control device includes: an electric motor having a regenerative function; a stabilizer, connecting a left wheel and a right wheel, that is capable of altering a roll rigidity via the electric motor; vehicle behavior detection device that detects a vehicle behavior; regenerative current setting device that sets a regenerative current of the electric motor based on the vehicle behavior detected by the vehicle behavior detection device; and regenerative current adjusting device that adjusts the regenerative current of the electric motor so that the regenerative current set by the regenerative current setting device is reached. The spring reaction force against the twist of the stabilizer rotates the electric motor to thereby generate electricity. Vehicle behavior such as body roll is detected and the regenerative current of the electric motor is set based on the detected vehicle behavior to restrain or accelerate the twist or return of the stabilizer.
