A brake apparatus including a housing, a piston body disposed within each of a pair of closed-ended bores formed in the housing, a first elastic member that biases the piston body toward a closed end of the respective bores, a fluid passage opened to the closed end of the respective bores, a pressure regulating valve disposed in the fluid passage, and a rotary gear pump disposed in a region between the pressure regulating valve disposed in the fluid passage opened to the closed end of one of the bores and the pressure regulating valve disposed in the fluid passage opened to the closed end of the other of the bores. The fluid passages are formed to be offset from respective central axes of the piston bodies in such a direction that the fluid passages are spaced apart from each other.
