To provide a steering apparatus of a structure which is hard to cause change in upper and lower angles or the position in the axial direction of a steering shaft to the power input to the steering wheel from the external.

A steering apparatus 1 includes: a tilt pick mechanism 12; a telescopic mechanism 13; a driving electric motor 14 for driving both mechanisms 12 and 13; a joint 30 for tilt pick coupled to the tilt pick mechanism 12; a joint 40 for telescopic coupled to the telescopic mechanism 13; and a switching member 60 that switches the connection state of the driving electric motor 14, the joint 30 for tilt pick, and the joint 40 for telescopic. When the adjustment of the tilt angle or the telescopic position is ended, the switching member 60 moves the switching position to the third connecting position.
