A vehicular visual recognition control device includes an in-out motor, an in-out sensor, an ECU, and a power control section. The in-out motor is configured to change a position of a mirror surface in order to visually recognize the vehicle surroundings. The in-out sensor is configured to detect a position of the mirror surface using changes in the in-out motor based on a resistance value of a sliding resistance having a resistance value that changes according to the position of the mirror surface. The ECU is configured to control the in-out motor based on a detection result of the in-out sensor so as to change the position of the mirror surface to a predetermined target position in cases in which a predetermined condition for changing the position of the mirror surface section is satisfied. The power control section is configured to predict a time to arrival at the target position, and to control powering of the sliding resistance so as to restart powering after powering of a sliding resistance R had been stopped until prior to the predicted time to arrival at the target position.
