A steering column device including a first bracket for supporting a column tube that supports a steering shaft, a second bracket coupled to the first bracket and assembled onto a vehicle body, and a disengaging mechanism provided on the second bracket that allows the column tube to be disengaged from the vehicle body forward along a column axis direction under a set load when a secondary impact is caused with a collision of a vehicle. The first bracket and the second bracket are coupled to each other through an intermediation of a coupling mechanism in a relatively rotatable manner, and a rotation center of relative rotation intersects an axis center of the steering shaft. The first bracket and the second bracket perform relative rotation when an external force exceeding a predetermined value is applied to the disengaging mechanism along the column axis direction before the first bracket, the second bracket, the disengaging mechanism are assembled onto the vehicle body.
