A servo control device for controlling an end effector of a machine to follow a set reference trajectory by driving the machine using an actuator includes a feedforward compensation unit that performs feedforward compensation by outputting a feedforward signal for controlling the actuator on the basis of a position command signal inputted thereto, wherein input-output characteristics represented in a continuous-time system of the feedforward compensation unit are expressed by a transfer function having unstable zeros, and a step response of the feedforward compensation unit has an initial undershoot.
