A controller for an internal combustion engine is configured to be used in a vehicle to control the vehicle. The vehicle includes an internal combustion engine that is provided with an exhaust purifier and a generator that converts rotation power of a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine into electric power. The exhaust purifier includes a heater configured to generate heat by consuming electric power, a filter configured to collect particulate matter from an exhaust gas, and a catalyst arranged at an upstream side or downstream side of the filter and subjected to heating by the heater. The controller is configured to perform an increase process for increasing electric power generated by the generator by increasing electric power consumed by the heater on condition that a regeneration request for the filter is issued.
