Abstract: A vehicle body slip angle-estimating device (1) which, in estimating a vehicle body slip angle (β) with an algorithm using a nonlinear model, is capable of accurately estimating a vehicle body slip angle (β) irrespective of whether the frequency of occurrence of a state during traveling of the vehicle (3). A basic value-calculating section (30) calculates a basic value (βb) of a vehicle body slip angle with an algorithm using a neural network model. A turning state-determining section (31) determines whether the vehicle (3) is in a predetermined limit turning traveling state. A correction value-calculating section (32) calculates a correction value (βc) with an algorithm using a predetermined linear model when the vehicle (3) is in the predetermined state. In the other cases, the correction value (βc) is set to 0. A straight traveling-determining section (33) sets the angle to the sum of the basic value (βb) and the correction value (βc) when the vehicle is in a turning traveling state.
