A telescopic steering apparatus includes a steering column having an outer column and an inner column. An inner peripheral surface of the outer column has a supporting portion that supports the inner column. An inner peripheral surface of the outer column further has a shock absorbing portion at a location shifted toward one side in an axial direction from an axial end face of the inner column, a diameter of an inscribed circle of the shock absorbing portion being smaller than an outer diameter of the inner column. The outer column, including the supporting portion and the shock absorbing portion, and a movable bracket are integrally formed by an expansion forming.
