With the steering control device of the present invention, a decision is made as to whether or not stationary steering operation is being performed, and predetermined processing is performed if stationary steering operation is detected. A stationary steering operation determination means 101 determines whether or not stationary steering operation is being performed repeatedly at a determination cycle period that is set to be longer than a cycle period at which a certain signal is detected. And a stationary steering operation determination means 101 makes a decision as to whether or not stationary steering operation is being performed, on the basis of vehicle speed as detected by a vehicle speed detection means 102 and steering angle as detected by a steering angle detection means 103. If it has been determined that stationary steering operation is being performed, a steering sensitivity alteration means 110 decreases the steering sensitivity by reducing a pilot pressure or the like. And a notification means 112 notifies the operator that stationary steering operation is being performed.
