Disclosed is a method and an apparatus for detecting a steering angle sensor initialization fault, which includes a steering angle sensor initialization detector for detecting a performance of initialization of a steering angle sensor of a vehicle, a straight drive determination unit for determining a straight drive state of the vehicle based on at least one of a steering angle speed, a torque, and a vehicle speed when the performance of the initialization has been detected, and a fault detector for detecting an offset angle of the steering angle sensor, determining if the offset angle is equal to or larger than a predetermined angle, and detecting a fault in the initialization of the steering angle sensor when the vehicle has been determined to be in the straight drive state. The method and the apparatus can detect the offset angle generated in the initialization of the steering angle sensor and detect the fault in the initialization of the steering angle sensor based on the detected offset angle, thereby effectively preventing occurrence of problems due to the fault in the initialization of the steering angle sensor.
