Claim:
1. A steering control device comprising: a white line detection unit programmed to detect at least one of a left white line and a right white line of a traveling lane; a white line approach suppression steering reaction force calculating unit programmed to calculate a white line approach suppression steering reaction force that suppresses steering in a direction in which a host vehicle approaches one of the left white line and the right white line, when the host vehicle approaches the one of the left white line and the right white line, a steering reaction force control unit programmed to control a steering reaction force applied to a steering unit that receives steering input from a driver, based on the white line approach suppression steering reaction force; and a limiting unit programmed to limit the white line approach suppression steering reaction force, upon determining that the other of the left white line and the right white line is undetectable and a distance between the host vehicle and the left or right white line is decreasing.
