Provided is a steering control apparatus capable of performing adjustment so as to suppress deterioration in a steering feel that is caused by a twist of a torsion bar. A torsional stiffness control circuit includes a torsion angle calculation circuit, a gain calculation circuit, multiplication circuits, and an addition circuit. The torsion angle calculation circuit calculates a torsion angle based on a steering torque. The gain calculation circuit calculates a gain having a positive or negative value based on a value obtained by multiplying the steering torque and a steering speed together by the multiplication circuit. The multiplication circuit calculates a compensation amount by multiplying the torsion angle and the gain together. The addition circuit calculates a target pinion angle having a compensated phase by adding the compensation amount to a target steering angle.
