A lock-up control system for an automatic transmission includes a torque converter and a lock-up clutch. The controller includes a lock-up control section. The lock-up control section includes a first lock-up releasing control section adapted to gradually disengage the lock-up clutch from an engaging state and put the lock-up clutch into a disengaging state when the accelerator pedal movement speed is not lower than a set speed and an initial accelerator pedal depression amount is not smaller than a set accelerator pedal depression amount to establish a driving condition of the vehicle under the engaging state of the lock-up clutch.
