A platooning control apparatus that realizes platooning of a plurality of vehicles by causing an own vehicle to follow other vehicle. The platooning control apparatus includes a follow control unit that controls acceleration/deceleration of the own vehicle by using forward information of the own vehicle and other vehicle information obtained through vehicle-to-vehicle communication, a first acquisition unit that obtains first slope information indicating a gradient of a road surface on which a leading vehicle of the platooning is traveling, a determination unit that determines based on the first slope information whether or not to inhibit acceleration/deceleration control to be performed by the follow control unit when the leading vehicle is accelerating or decelerating, and a suppression control unit that inhibits the acceleration/deceleration control to be performed by the follow control unit when the acceleration/deceleration control is determined to be inhibited.
