The invention discloses a steering control method and device. The steering control method includes the steps that when it is detected that a target barrier exists in a preset range, the relative position between the target barrier and a vehicle is judged; according to the relative position between the target barrier and the vehicle, a first steering direction of a steering wheel matched with the relative position is determined; the assistance of the steering wheel of the first steering direction is reduced. By means of the embodiment of the steering control method and device in the technical scheme, the accident rate can be decreased, and the vehicle security is improved.
