Provided is a control device for an internal combustion engine, which can ensure a stable combustion state of the internal combustion engine even under a high-humidity environment condition, thereby improving the merchantability. The control device for the internal combustion engine includes an ECU (electronic control unit). The ECU calculates a basic target EGR amount according to an operating state of the internal combustion engine, calculates a water vapor amount in air drawn into an intake passage of the internal combustion engine, calculates an EGR conversion amount by using the water vapor amount, calculates a target EGR amount by subtracting the EGR conversion amount from the basic target EGR amount, and controls internal EGR and external EGR of the internal combustion engine by using the target EGR amount.
