Disclosed is a steering column apparatus including an impact energy absorbing mechanism (59, 126) for absorbing an impact energy at a secondary collision. The impact energy absorbing mechanism includes an energy absorbing section (128) that serves as a load generating section for absorbing the impact energy. The energy absorbing section includes (a) a resistive member (54, 133) that extends along an axial direction of the middle jacket (3, 103) and is fixed to the middle jacket and (b) a wire (53, 134) having a bent portion (53b) that is wound around the resistive member to have a curvature and a front portion (53a, 134a) that is fixed to the upper jacket (4, 104), the front portion being at a more forward position than the bent portion.
