One aspect of a motor control device according to the present invention is a motor control device that controls a motor of an electric pump. The motor control device includes a drive unit that supplies a drive current to the motor; a control unit that controls a rotation speed of the motor by controlling the drive unit based on a rotation speed command value; and a current detection unit that detects the drive current supplied to the motor, and supplies a current detection value indicating a detection result of the drive current to the control unit. The control unit determines whether or not a foreign fluid suction abnormality occurs in the electric pump, based on a first current detection value acquired at a first timing when the rotation speed command value changes from a first command value to a second command value and a second current detection value acquired after the first timing.
