In order to reliably assist a driver in emergency detour steering without causing a jerking forward motion of the vehicle during normal operation, a vehicle motion control device includes: a risk potential estimator that estimates a risk potential of a vehicle based on input external information and vehicle information; a vehicle longitudinal motion controller that generates a longitudinal motion control command of the vehicle based on a vehicle lateral jerk and a predetermined gain; and a gain adjustor that adjusts the gain, in which the gain adjustor adjusts the gain based on the risk potential estimated by the risk potential estimator.
