A clutch control device is provided for a four-wheel drive vehicle for transmitting drive force to the rear wheels. The clutch control device includes a dog clutch and a friction clutch, and a 4WD control unit that controls the engagement and disengagement of the dog clutch and the friction clutch. The 4WD control unit has as two-wheel drive modes, a disconnected two-wheel drive mode in which the dog clutch and the friction clutch are released, and a standby two-wheel drive mode in which the dog clutch is engaged and the friction clutch is released. The 4WD control unit is programmed to switch to the standby two-wheel drive mode when uphill movement is detected during the disconnected two-wheel drive mode.
