A steering apparatus for a vehicle is provided in which since a steering wheel (12) is provided with a switch (20L, 20R) that outputs an electrical signal in response to an operation by a driver's finger, and a vehicle wheel (W) is turned by operating a steering actuator (17) according to an electrical signal outputted by the switch (20L, 20R), a turning angle of the vehicle wheel (W) can be freely increased and decreased matching the driver's intention merely by operating the switch (20L, 20R) without changing the hold on the steering wheel (12) in a state in which the steering wheel (12) is operated and the vehicle wheel (W) is turned. Moreover, since the switch (20L, 20R) is housed in a recess (12b) formed on a surface of a rim portion (12a) of the steering wheel (12) without projecting from the surface thereof, it is possible to reliably prevent the switch (20L, 20R) from being erroneously operated against a driver's intention during operation of the steering wheel (12).
