The invention belongs to the field of LED (Light Emitting Diode) control, and provides an LED control circuit and an LED illumination device. According to the invention, a switching tube, a capacitor C1, a sampling resistor R1, a voltage division sampling module, a diode D1, a phase sampling and retaining module, a current shaping module and a pulse generation module are adopted in the LED control circuit, wherein the pulse generation module controls the work state of the voltage division sampling module according to the output end voltage of the switching tube; and after the voltage division sample module and the current shaping module respectively perform alternating voltage in-phase sampling on output direct current of a rectifier bridge and sampling on input voltage of a first end of the inductance L1, the phase sampling and retaining module outputs a sampling and retaining voltage signal, and the current shaping module outputs a zero crossing comparison signal and a peak comparison signal to drive the drive pulse generation module to correspondingly output an impulse signal with a specific duty ratio to control the on-off state of the switching tube, so that the circuit is more miniaturized in structure and easy to integrate, the power factor is improved, and constant current driving of the LED load is realized.
