A control device for a compression ignition engine is provided. At least in a high-load range where an engine load is higher than a given value, among an operating range where a partial compression ignition combustion is performed, an EGR valve is opened, and a first injection in which fuel is injected at least from an intake stroke to the first half of a compression stroke is carried out. While an engine body is operated in the high-load range, when a torque down request and a request for reducing external EGR gas amount introduced into the cylinder are issued, the opening of the EGR valve is reduced, and a second injection in which fuel is injected in the second half of the compression stroke is carried out, and a ratio of a fuel amount of the second injection to the total fuel amount injected in a combustion cycle is increased.
