An electric parking brake includes an actuator, first and second linings adjacent respectively to first and second end surfaces of a brake disk, and first and second braking members. Through operation of the actuator, the first lining is driven by the first braking member to move toward or away from the first end surface in a direction to thereby move the second braking member toward or away from the second end surface in an opposite direction, so that the first and second linings can be moved toward each other to clamp the brake dish therebetween.
