A power generation control device 3 for a fuel cell 1 of the present invention comprises: a target generated power calculating unit 31 configured to calculate target generated power of the fuel cell 1, based on a load condition of an electrical load device connected to the fuel cell 1; a target generated current calculating unit 34 configured to calculate a target generated current to be taken out of the fuel cell 1, based on the target generated power; a current change rate limit value calculating unit 35 configured to calculate a limit value for a rate of change in the target generated current, based on an operating condition parameter correlated with an operating temperature of the fuel cell 1; and a current limiting unit 37 configured to limit the target generated current so that the rate of change in the target generated current does not exceed the limit value calculated by the current change rate limit value calculating unit 35.
