To provide a seek control method and an optical disk apparatus in which accuracy of seek control is improved and a time required for seek control can be shortened.

These are the seek control method and the optical disk apparatus in which the number of movement tracks moving an optical pickup is calculated based on a track before moving of the optical pickup and a track of a movement target, when the optical pickup detects a track of the same numbers as the number of movement tracks during moving, moving of the optical pickup is stopped. Correction of the number of movement tracks is performed based on a moving direction of the optical pickup and a rotary phase of the optical disk during moving of the optical pickup.
