A synchronous motor control device includes: a DC power supply; an inverter main circuit; a three-phase synchronous motor; and an inverter control unit that outputs a PWM signal used to control the inverter main circuit. The inverter control unit includes: a PWM signal generation unit; a start-up control unit that outputs a start-up voltage command value to the PWM signal generation unit at the time of start-up; a steady state control unit that calculates a steady state voltage command value in a steady state and outputs the value to the PWM signal generation unit; and a steady state control parameter initial value calculation unit that outputs an initial value of a control parameter to the steady state control unit such that an output voltage vector from the inverter main circuit to the three-phase synchronous motor is consistent before and after switching from the start-up to the steady state.
