The present invention provides a steering apparatus which has increased rigidity in a fixed state of the steering column after positioning performed by tilt and telescopic adjustment, and in which a play is inhibited and operation feeling of steering is improved. The steering apparatus includes a fixed bracket, an outer column, an arm unit, an inner column, a steering shaft, and a tightening tool. The outer column is constituted by a main holding body portion, a divided portion, and a tightening portion. The arm unit is constituted by a bifurcated arm portion that extends axially outward in a substantially bifurcated shape at the axial front side of the main holding body portion and a linking portion formed between the arms of the bifurcated arm portion. The inner column is held by the outer column. The steering shaft is pivotally supported by the linking portion. Two tightening plate-like pieces of the tightening portion are disposed inside two fixed side portions of the fixed bracket and tightenably connected by the tightening tool.
