Abstract

Provided is a control device for an internal combustion engine, which can control an injection amount of water injected into each cylinder of the internal combustion engine to a minimum injection amount that allows knock to be suppressed for each cylinder. Therefore, in a control device 1 that controls water supply valves 35 (water supply devices) that supply water into each of combustion chambers of a plurality of cylinders R (cylinders R1 to R3 in the embodiment) of an internal combustion engine 100, the control device 1 includes a water supply amount calculation unit 2 that calculates a supply amount of water supplied to each of the combustion chambers of the plurality of cylinders R1 to R3 for each cylinder, and a water supply control unit 3 that controls the water supply valves 35 based on the supply amount of water calculated by the water supply amount calculation unit 2 for each cylinder.
