An engine start control device that is capable of winding back a crankshaft more quickly at the time of an idling stop includes a swingback controller for performing a swingback control process for reversing a crankshaft when an engine is started by operating a starter switch, a windback reverse controller for performing a windback control process for reversing the crankshaft immediately after the engine is stopped by the idling stop control process, and a motor brake controller for performing a motor brake control process for braking the crankshaft reversed by the windback control process by rotating the crankshaft in the normal direction after the windback control process performed by the windback reverse controller. The value of a motor current supplied at the time the crankshaft is reversed by the windback reverse controller is set as a value equal to or larger than the value of a motor current supplied at the time the crankshaft is reversed by the swingback controller.
