A travel control device for a hybrid vehicle includes: an acceleration control part for controlling a traveling motor generator or an engine based on a depression amount of an accelerator pedal; and a regenerative control part for controlling the traveling motor generator with a regenerative control intensity set by an operation part. The acceleration control part includes: an EV priority control portion for prioritizing EV traveling over engine traveling. The regenerative control part includes: a restriction portion for restricting or prohibiting regenerative braking; and a forced regeneration portion for performing regenerative braking on a driving wheel and rotationally driving a power generation motor generator by electricity generated in the traveling motor generator to rotationally drive an engine, if the regenerative braking intensity is increased by the operation part in a state where the restriction portion restricts or prohibits the regenerative braking. The acceleration control part deselects an EV priority mode if the regenerative braking intensity is increased by the operation part in a state where the EV priority mode is selected and acceptance of electricity to the driving battery is restricted.
