Disclosed is a brake control apparatus including a master cylinder that generates a hydraulic braking pressure in response to operation of a brake pedal, an electric motor that drives the master cylinder, a housing in which the master cylinder and the electric motor are assembled, and a control unit adapted to perform drive control of the electric motor. The control unit has a bottom formed at least partially integral with the housing and includes a circuit board mounting thereon drive elements to drive the electric motor. The brake control apparatus includes a heat radiating seat located on an inner surface of the bottom of the control unit at a position apart from the electric motor and closer to the master cylinder than the electric motor and brought into thermal contact with the circuit board so as to radiate heat of the drive elements toward the housing.
