A control device for a vehicle, the vehicle including an engine, an automatic transmission, an operating device, a change mechanism, and an electric starting device, the automatic transmission being configured to transmit a power of the engine to driving wheels, the operating device including operators (32, 34), the operators (32, 34) being configured to be operated by a driver to an operation position corresponding to a shift position of the automatic transmission, the change mechanism being configured to change the shift position of the automatic transmission by an operation of an electric actuator, the electric starting device being configured to start the engine by cranking, the control device comprising: an electronic control unit configured to electrically change the shift position of the automatic transmission by the change mechanism based on the operation position of the operators (32, 34), the electronic control unit being configured to start the engine by cranking by the electric starting device when the electronic control unit determines that the operators are operated by the driver to a non-parking operation position at a predetermined time, the predetermined time being a time when the shift position of the automatic transmission is set to a parking position and the engine stops, the parking position being a shift position of the automatic transmission, which causes a parking lock state where rotation of an output rotational member of the automatic transmission is mechanically prevented by the change mechanism, the non-parking operation position being a position of the operator corresponding to a non-parking position of the automatic transmission, the non-parking position being the shift position of the automatic transmission at which the parking lock state is released, characterized in that the electronic control unit is configured to control a deceleration start timing of the electric actuator such that the deceleration start timing of a first condition is earlier than the deceleration start timing of a second condition, the first condition being a condition under which the operator is operated by the driver to the non-parking operation position at the predetermined time, the second condition being a condition under which the operator is operated by the driver to the non-parking operation position at a time other than the predetermined time. the automatic transmission being configured to transmit a power of the engine to driving wheels, the operating device including operators (32, 34), the operators (32, 34) being configured to be operated by a driver to an operation position corresponding to a shift position of the automatic transmission, the change mechanism being configured to change the shift position of the automatic transmission by an operation of an electric actuator, the electric starting device being configured to start the engine by cranking, the electronic control unit being configured to start the engine by cranking by the electric starting device when the electronic control unit determines that the operators are operated by the driver to a non-parking operation position at a predetermined time, the predetermined time being a time when the shift position of the automatic transmission is set to a parking position and the engine stops, the parking position being a shift position of the automatic transmission, which causes a parking lock state where rotation of an output rotational member of the automatic transmission is mechanically prevented by the change mechanism, the non-parking operation position being a position of the operator corresponding to a non-parking position of the automatic transmission, the non-parking position being the shift position of the automatic transmission at which the parking lock state is released, the first condition being a condition under which the operator is operated by the driver to the non-parking operation position at the predetermined time, the second condition being a condition under which the operator is operated by the driver to the non-parking operation position at a time other than the predetermined time.
