[Object] It is an object of the present invention to restrain the entire height of a multi-directional input apparatus called joystick. [Arrangement] As shown in FIG. 2, in order to operate a set of upper and lower turning members 40A and 40B, convex operating portions 42A and 42B provided on axially intermediate portions of the turning members 40A and 40B are projected downward or upward. A hoisting and lowering slider 50 and a spring 60 for holding the turning members 40A and 40B at their neutral positions are disposed on the side where the operating portions 42A and 42B are projected such as to be located around the operating portions 42A and 42B. In order to turnably support the operating member 30, a support portion 32 having a large diameter is provided on an axially portion of the operating member 30 on the opposite side from the side where the operating portions 42A and 42B are projected. Turning centers of the operating member 30 and the turning members 40A and 40B are located on an upper portion or lower portion in the case 10, and the hoisting and lowering slider 50 and the spring 60 are efficiently accommodated in the lower or upper space.
