A motor control apparatus having a fundamental wave current control circuit that implements feedback control on a fundamental wave component of a motor current in a dq coordinate system rotating in synchronization with the rotation of the motor and a higher harmonic current control circuit that implements feedback control on a higher harmonic components of the motor current in a dhqh coordinate system rotating with a frequency which is an integral multiple of the frequency of the fundamental wave component of the motor current, eliminates the higher harmonic component of the motor current from the control deviation between a fundamental wave current command value and a motor current feedback value.
