In an engine knocking detection apparatus that receives a knocking sensor signal expressing vibration in an internal combustion engine and performs bandpass filter processing of the sensor signal to extract a signal component indicative of engine knocking, during each of respective combustion stroke intervals, the center frequency and/or width of the filter passband is adjusted in accordance with changes that occur, during each combustion stroke interval, in the distribution of sensor signal components that are characteristic of knocking.
