A valve timing control apparatus for an internal combustion engine is capable of ensuring good response within a control range, stability outside the control range, and durability without increasing the capacity of electric power for a drive circuit and an OCV coil. The valve timing control apparatus includes an intake vale 31, an exhaust valve 32, an engine operating condition detecting section (3, 11, 14), a target valve timing calculating section 21, variable valve timing mechanisms 15, 16, an actual valve timing detecting section (14, 17, 18), a control amount calculating section 21 for calculating a control amount based on target valve timing, actual valve timing and engine operating conditions, and an actual valve timing control section (19, 20) for outputting the control amount as an output control amount to the variable valve timing mechanisms. When the target valve timing is outside a prescribed control range, the control amount calculated by the control amount calculating section 21 is not made as an output control amount supplied to the actual valve timing control section (19, 20).
