Proposed is an elevator control device in which an unbalance torque estimation unit configured to estimate an unbalance torque in a motor is implemented in accordance with such a new finding that the unbalance torque can be estimated based on a first time period from an output change of a brake state command signal for switching an operation state of a brake from a braking state to a releasing state to a time when the motor starts a rotating operation along with release of the brake, and on a positive or negative sign of a velocity signal obtained when the motor starts rotation. As a result, as compared to the related art, a smaller calculation load can be achieved. Further, the elevator control device can have a sufficient responsiveness for suppressing an influence of the unbalance torque.
