A hydraulic steering apparatus for a construction vehicle, which has been developed for the purpose of improving the steering control performance of an apparatus of this kind by preventing the occurrence of non-synchronousness between a steering wheel and a knuckle arm or some other pivotable member, and eliminating a dead zone ascribed to an operation of a link mechanism. This steering apparatus has a pilot valve (2) connected directly to a steering wheel, a main control valve (7) provided separately from the pilot valve and adapted to be operated by a pressure oil sent from a pilot pump (9) which is controlled by the pilot valve, a steering cylinder (6) to which a pressure oil is supplied from a main pump (8) via the main control valve, and a feedback link (4) connected between a pivotable member (5), such as a knuckle arm connected pivotably to a piston rod in the steering cylinder and a spool in the pilot valve.
