An apparatus and method to control a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor, which accurately detect driving current. To this end, the BLDC motor control apparatus includes a BLDC motor, a driver to generate driving current to drive the BLDC motor, a current measurer to measure the driving current, a pulse width modulator to change a driving voltage to drive the BLDC motor; and a controller to control the BLDC motor. The controller detects the amount of the driving current in synchronization with pulse width modulation of the pulse width modulator and determines current with a minimum change due to a variation of counter electromotive force, among currents flowing through a plurality of coils, as the driving current, thereby accurately detecting the driving current.
