A control apparatus for a permanent magnet synchronous motor capable of performing highly accurate torque control not only during low-speed operation and medium-speed operation but also during high-speed operation without increasing a burden on a product CPU irrespective of whether the permanent magnet synchronous motor is an SPM motor or an IPM motor. The control apparatus includes a torque correction circuit that generate a torque correction command from a current phase of current correction commands on a d-axis and a q-axis and a torque command and supplies the torque correction command to a d/q-axis current command generator instead of the torque command.
