The present invention relates to the field of art of steering devices which slide upon the occurrence of an impact load. This steering device is provided with: a cylindrical inner column (51) having a first hole (51h) formed therein; an outer column (54) having a slit (54s); an outer column bracket (52) for clamping the outer column (54); an inner column bracket (4) having a second hole (43h) formed therein; a connection member (M) located at a position which straddles the first hole (51h) and the second hole (43h) and connecting the inner column (51) and the inner column bracket (4) in a releasable manner. Extendable and retractable friction plates (21) are arranged on both sides of the outer column (54). The inner column bracket (4) is provided with: arms (42) for connecting the extendable and retractable friction plates (21), which are arranged on both sides of the outer column (54); a neck (44) protruding from the arms (42); and a leg (43) provided at an end of the neck (44) and in contact with the inner column (51).
