A valve timing control apparatus includes: an urging member to which a set load is provided to act, to the cam shaft, an urging force from one of the most retard angle position and the most advance angle position toward the intermediate phase position; and a controller configured to sense, as the intermediate phase position, a position at which a relative rotational speed between the driving rotational member and the cam shaft is varied by the relative rotation of the cam shaft beyond a region in which the cam shaft is controlled by the set load of the urging member, when the cam shaft is controlled to be relatively rotated from the one of the most retard angle position and the most advance angle position beyond the intermediate phase position. |
