An automatic transmission controller for controlling an automatic transmission includes an idling reduction controller, an idling-reduction-control permission determiner, and an engagement controller. The idling-reduction-control permission determiner is configured to determine whether or not to permit an idling reduction control. The engagement controller, in a case where the idling-reduction-control permission determiner permits the idling reduction control, is configured to allow rotation of an input shaft of an automatic transmission, and in a case where an output shaft of the automatic transmission is rotated by a wheel of a vehicle in a rotational direction such that the vehicle moves backward, is configured to set a plurality of engagement mechanisms including at least a mechanical engagement mechanism so as to fix the output shaft of the automatic transmission to a casing of the automatic transmission or so as to prevent the vehicle from moving backward.
