A behavior control device for a four-wheel drive vehicle that is applied to a vehicle which includes a center differential device that transmits a driving force from a driving device to front and rear wheel rotation shafts, and permits differential of the front and rear wheel rotation shafts; and a braking force distribution ratio of the front and rear wheels being set to a value in which a proportion of front wheels is larger than that in an ideal distribution ratio. The behavior control device includes a differential limiting device that changes the limitation degree of a differential between the wheel rotation shafts, and a control unit that controls the differential limiting device to increase the limitation degree of the differential during the vehicle is braked as a degree of an understeer state of the vehicle is high.
