1. A braking control device for a vehicle, the braking control device comprising:
a stop holding controller configured to, after the vehicle makes a stop and a brake operation performed by a driver who drives the vehicle is canceled, perform a stop holding control that includes holding braking force of the vehicle and canceling the braking force in response to a predetermined start operation performed by the driver; and
an uneven-ground traveling determination unit configured to determine whether the vehicle is traveling on an uneven ground before the vehicle stops and the stop holding controller performs the stop holding control, wherein
the stop holding controller is configured, even after the vehicle stops and the brake operation performed by the driver is canceled, not to perform the stop holding control in response to the uneven-ground traveling determination unit determining that the vehicle is traveling on the uneven ground before the vehicle stops and the stop holding controller performs the stop holding control.
