A fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine, includes a fuel pressure sensor and circuitry. The fuel pressure sensor detects an actual fuel pressure of the fuel supplied to a cylinder fuel injection valve. The circuitry calculates a demanded amount of the fuel supplied to the internal combustion engine. The circuitry calculates a cylinder injection amount of fuel injected from the cylinder fuel injection valve. The circuitry corrects the cylinder injection amount to decrease in accordance with a degree of drop in the actual fuel pressure comparing to a target fuel pressure of the fuel supplied to the cylinder fuel injection valve such that fuel injection from the cylinder fuel injection valve ends by a target injection end timing. The circuitry calculates a port injection amount of the fuel injected from a port fuel injection valve based on the demanded fuel amount and the corrected cylinder injection amount.

The integrated second polynomial function is then divided by the integrated first polynomial function to calculate the angular position of the crankshaft at the occurrence of the fuel injection event. The calculated angular position of the crankshaft at the occurrence of the fuel injection event may then be correlated to an absolute angular position of the crankshaft, relative to a Top Dead Center position of the crankshaft. The calculated angular position of the crankshaft at the occurrence of the fuel injection event may be used to adjust the injection timing of future fuel injection events.
