A braking control device is provided to automatically control a main braking device normally used to brake a host vehicle during travel and a second braking device used to maintain the host vehicle in a stopped state. The braking control device has a slip degree prediction unit and a braking device switching unit. The slip degree prediction unit predicts a possibility that the host vehicle will slip. The braking device switching unit is configured to delay a timing with which to start a reduction in a braking force of the main braking device if the slip degree prediction unit predicts a slip when switching the main braking device to the second braking device.
