Provided is a switching power supply device capable of easily realizing multi-phase operation and current balancing with the number of operation phases depending on the amount of load. The switching power supply device includes: a main circuit; a control circuit (2) configured to output a reference pulse signal; an entire current detection circuit CT0 configured to detect an output current of the entire main circuit as an entire current; a plurality of individual current detection circuits CTn provided corresponding to a plurality of power conversion units and configured to detect output currents of respective ones of the plurality of power conversion units as respective individual currents; and a pulse corrector (3) configured to generate individual pulse signals for respective ones of the plurality of power conversion units on the basis of the entire current, the individual currents and the reference pulse signal, and to output, to the plurality of power conversion units, respective ones of the individual pulse signals for the plurality of power conversion units as drive signals for respective switching elements, wherein the pulse corrector (3) determines the number of operation phases N′ for the power conversion units on the basis of the entire current and, to the same number of power conversion units as the determined number of operation phases N′, outputs respective ones of the individual pulse signals.
