An air-fuel ratio control apparatus for an engine for controlling a fuel injection amount so that an air-fuel ratio of a mixture gas which is supplied to the engine is set to a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is disclosed. The apparatus has a first oxygen concentration sensor on the upstream side of a catalyst arranged in an exhaust pipe of the engine and a second oxygen concentration sensor on the downstream side, respectively. The first sensor gives to the apparatus a first linear detection signal for the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas. The second sensor gives to the apparatus a second detection signal indicating whether the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas is rich or lean for the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. A target air-fuel ratio is set in accordance with the second detection signal and the first detection signal and the target air-fuel ratio are compared, thereby controlling a fuel injection amount. Thus, a deviation between the actual air-fuel ratio and the first detection signal can be accurately corrected and the air-fuel ratio can be accurately controlled to a value in a region where a high purification factor of the catalyst is derived.
