An engine clutch control system of a hybrid vehicle includes a driving information detector for detecting vehicle information and road environment information according to operation of the hybrid vehicle. An engine clutch is disposed between an engine and a motor. A hybrid controller provides an EV (electric vehicle) mode or an HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) mode by controlling engagement or disengagement of the engine clutch. The hybrid controller sets a slip estimation region of the engine clutch from an accumulated value of an APS (Accelerator Pedal position Sensor), an engine clutch temperature, or a road inclination when engagement of the engine clutch is required, and extracts a speed variation of the engine and the motor in the slip estimation region. The hybrid controller compares the speed variation of the engine and the motor with each other, and determines the engine clutch is engaged when a maximal peak is detected.
