To provide a steering apparatus having a simple constitution capable of generating the consistent slip torque.

A key ring 31 is press-fitted onto a steering shaft 2 (a column shaft 3) at a position that is radially the outer side of a fit portion at which a second shaft 9 and a third shaft 25 to constitute the steering shaft (the column shaft) are spline-fitted to each other, and that is substantially the same as the position of the key ring in the axial direction.
