Abstract
A device and method for controlling a clutch of a hybrid vehicle controls an engagement and a disengagement of an engine clutch installed between an engine and a motor. The device includes a acceleration request sensor for sensing driving situations in which acceleration is needed immediately after deceleration of the hybrid vehicle in a state where the engine clutch is engaged. A controller maintains the engagement state of the engine clutch even though a disengagement condition of the engine clutch is satisfied when receiving a sensed signal of the acceleration request sensor.
