A stopping position control apparatus and method for an internal combustion engine, over which an automatic stop/restart control is executed, is suggested. With the stopping position control apparatus and method, the crankshaft stopping position control is executed accurately by minimizing the influence of the loads placed on the internal combustion engine by auxiliary devices. The position at which the crankshaft stops when the internal combustion engine is automatically stopped is controlled by controlling the engine speed at which ignition is stopped. When issuance of a command to automatically stop the internal combustion engine is predicted, the auxiliary devices of the internal combustion engine are stopped before the internal combustion engine is automatically stopped.
