A clutch control device is provided for a four-wheel drive vehicle. The clutch control device is able to suppress the elevation of the temperature of the oil supplied to a friction clutch during two-wheel drive travel when the friction clutch is released. The clutch control device includes a dog clutch and an electronic control coupling. The friction clutch is housed in a coupling case. When the dog clutch and the friction clutch are released, a two-wheel drive mode is selected. The coupling case has a passage opening that is closed to retain lubrication oil in an oil chamber with respect to a clutch chamber that houses the friction clutch. When oil stirring conditions are met thereafter, the passage opening is opened and the lubrication oil is allowed to flow into the clutch chamber from the oil chamber.
