To provide a pedal device capable of preventing one side holder from being separated from an intermediate holder due to the energizing force of a first coil spring when a stopper is broken when a pedal is released.SOLUTION: When the inhibition of the movement of the first side holder 67 to the first side in the unit axial direction Dsa by the pedal is released, the intermediate retaining portion 747 of the intermediate holder 74 abuts against the first side retaining portion 673 in the unit axial direction Dsa. Therefore, even if the stopper is broken when the pedal is released, the one side holder 67 is held with respect to the intermediate holder 74.
