A deceleration control apparatus for a vehicle, which performs deceleration control on the vehicle by an operation of a brake system which applies a braking force to the vehicle and a shift operation which shifts a transmission of the vehicle into a relatively low speed or speed ratio, comprising:

  • a controller which i) determines a deceleration to be applied to the vehicle as a base deceleration based on a curvature or curvature radius of a curve in a road ahead of the vehicle, and ii) determines a deceleration correction amount based on a distance to the curve, and wherein the deceleration correction amount is combined with the base deceleration to control deceleration of the vehicle.
