A steering apparatus is provided which can suppress unintended movement of a steering wheel when a clutch is engaged. When a power switch (54) is turned off and a steering wheel (11) is steered, a reaction force control circuit (33) makes a reaction force motor (31) to generate a steering reaction force stronger than a normal steering reaction force in order to give a driver an appropriate feeling of response according to a steering torque (Ä). The strong steering reaction force is applied to a steering shaft (12) to suppress steering of the steering wheel (11). A steering operation control circuit (44) executes steering operation control, that is, control that makes an actual steered angle (¸t) equal to a target steered angle based on a steering angle (¸s), and then a clutch (21) is engaged. The clutch (21) is engaged after confirmation of an immovable state of steered wheels (16), (16), and thus rotation of the steering wheel (11) unintended by the driver is suppressed. |
