A vehicle clutch control system that can eliminate discomfort due to a sudden start of a vehicle. The vehicle clutch control system includes an engine speed detector (203) for detecting an engine revolution speed, and an engine controller (211) for controlling an accelerator opening of an engine (222). A vehicle speed detector (204) is also provided for detecting vehicle speed. A clutch actuator (212) engages and disengages a friction clutch (304), and a clutch controller (205) controls engagement and disengagement of the clutch by giving commands to the clutch actuator. In a vehicle start stand-by state in which the vehicle speed is zero and a certain start gear has been selected, if the engine speed detected by the engine speed detector (203) is higher than a predetermined speed, then a clutch engaging control is not performed because otherwise the vehicle would start suddenly upon clutch engagement.
