An electric power steering control includes a torque sensor for detecting steering torque as torque information, a motor for generating assist torque, a calculation section for calculating a motor current command value based on the torque information at each predetermined sampling period, and a motor current control section for driving and controlling the motor based on the motor current command value. The calculation section includes a first target current calculation section for calculating a first target current based on the torque information detected in a time series manner at a first control period corresponding to the sampling period, and a second target current calculation section for calculating a second target current based on the first target current at a second control period shorter than the first control period. The motor current control section controls the motor by using the second target current as the motor current command value.
