A steering lock apparatus is composed of: a rotational member 2 having an engagement means 3; an operating portion 21 positioned on a front side of the rotational member 2 and connected to the rotational member 2; a holder 4 for holding the rotational member 2 rotatably in forward and backward direction and for holding the same rotatably in a rear position; an actuator 9 driven by a signal transmitted by a controller upon detection of the rotational member 2 being operated to a rear side; and a lock member 11 that is operated by the actuator 9 to be engaged with the engagement means 3 of the rotational member 2 in LOCK position for preventing rotation of the rotational member 2. The rotational member 2 is held rotatably in a rear position and disabled from moving to a front position when the rotational member 2 is operated to a rear position to release engagement between the engagement means 3 of the rotational member 2 and the lock member 11. This prevents misoperation of the rotational member to the front side during driving and the like and prevents the steering from being unexpectedly locked.
