To provide a regenerative controller for a vehicle which can enhance the detectability of occurrence of parking brake operation failure for a driver while regenerating energy effectively if it runs with braking operation on.

A regenerative controller for a vehicle has a motor generator 2 for a driving source, and performs energy regeneration according to the running state. Also, the controller is provided with a parking brake switch which detects the working state of a parking brake, and a regeneration control means (flowchart in the figure)for the time of operation of a parking brake which gives regenerative braking force to a drive system so as to elevate the deceleration of a vehicle, in case that it is running with parking brake operation on.
