A fuel injection control apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes an electronic control unit (23) which has a fuel injection information calculating section for periodically calculating fuel injection information according to the operation state of the engine, a temporary setting section for temporarily setting fuel injection information derived at specific timing prior to the actuation of the fuel injection valve in a desired operation cycle as fuel injection information in the desired operation cycle, and a correcting section for correcting the temporally set fuel injection information based on fuel injection information derived at a correction timing set later than the specific timing; and a fuel injection valve driving section (34) for driving the fuel injection valves (8) provided for the respective cylinders of the engine for each operation cycle of the engine based on the fuel injection information, to thereby effect more adequate fuel injection control based on the newest fuel injection information.
