A turning behavior control device for a vehicle includes a yaw rate detection unit, a brake unit, a drive source, and a travel control unit. The travel control unit includes a deviation value calculation unit that calculates a deviation between a reference yaw rate for determining the degree of understeer during turning of the vehicle and an actual yaw rate detected by the yaw rate detection unit, a braking force control unit that outputs, to the brake unit, a first signal for applying the braking force to a turning inner-side rear wheel or a turning inner-side front wheel when determining that the deviation exceeds a predetermined deviation reference value, and a driving force control unit that outputs, to the drive source, a signal for applying a driving force to a turning outer-side rear wheel or a turning outer-side front wheel when the braking force control unit outputs the signal.
