An energy absorbing steering apparatus in which shock applied to a steering column is absorbed by plastic deformation of a bracket for suspending the steering column from a vehicle body. The bracket includes: a first plate portion; a second plate portion bent from a rear edge of the first plate portion toward a lower portion; a third plate portion bent from a lower edge of the second plate portion toward a rear upper portion; and a fourth plate portion bent from an upper edge of the third plate portion toward the lower portion. An angle of a first bent portion between the first and second plate portions is an obtuse angle. An angle of a second bent portion between the second and third plate portions is an acute angle. An angle of a third bent portion between the third and fourth plate portions is an acute angle.
