The invention aims to suppress gear rattle or muffled noise even when a HV runs in an OD locked mode or MG1 locked mode. A control device for a hybrid vehicle includes: an engine; an electric motor; apower distribution mechanism including, as at least three rotary parts, an input element which is connected to the engine, an output element which transmits power toward an output shaft, and a reaction force element which is fixed selectively and non-rotatably and distributes power from the engine to the electric motor and the output shaft; a fixing unit selectively switching between an engaged state in which the reaction force element is fixed non-rotatably and a disengaged state in which the reaction force element is rotatably disengaged. When the fixing unit is in an engaged state, a control device controls the HV which can perform drive with the fixing unit supporting the reaction force of the engine; the control device controls a magnitude of torque output from the engine in the engaged state to be less than the magnitude of torque output from the engine in the disengaged state when an engine speed in the disengaged state is equivalent to the engine speed in the engaged state.
