ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An impact energy absorber of a steering wheel in accordance with the present invention is formed of a thin metal sheet and is disposed within a cover pad above a boss plate in a boss portion of the steering wheel. The impact energy absorber is composed of an annular base portion which is supported by a supporting member above the boss plate with a predetermined inner space between the base portion and the boss plate, and a plurality of leg portions which are protruded inwardly from the inner periphery of the base portion and are thereafter bent upward so as to be brought into contact with the inner wall of the upper portion of the cover pad. When impact is applied to the cover pad, the impact energy absorber absorbs the impact energy by deforming the lower portion of each leg portion by bending it from the inner periphery of the base portion and inserting it to the inner space between the base portion and the boss plate.
