The objective is to obtain an azimuth control apparatus and an azimuth control method that require no excessive memory capacity and calculation time for information processing and can cope with a disturbance by adaptively adjusting a control gain while calculating changing vessel parameters online. The vessel azimuth control apparatus hasan azimuth control unit that outputs a steering-angle command signal for making a vessel turn to an azimuth to which the vessel should travel, based on an azimuth command signal generated by an azimuth command generation unit, a yaw-angle signal, and a yaw-angular-velocity signal,a steering-angle control unit that controls a rudder based on the steering-angle command signal, anda control gain adjustment unit that calculates respective frequency responses of the yaw-angle signal and the yaw-angular-velocity signal to a steering-angle signal outputted by a steering-angle detection unit and then adjusts a control gain of the azimuth control unit.
