The vehicle control device includes: a vehicle speed adjuster configured to adjust a speed of the vehicle at a set vehicle speed; and a suppressor configured to change an upper limit of acceleration of the vehicle according to a level of automatic driving of the vehicle. When the vehicle speed adjustment by the vehicle speed adjuster requires acceleration of the vehicle during a level 3 automatic driving, the suppressor lowers the upper limit of acceleration than the upper limit during a level 2 automatic driving.
