Abstract: A pedal operation detecting device includes an input member which moves in a first direction in accordance with movement of an operating pedal; a plate-shaped member having a first surface and a second surface, the input member being connected to a central portion of the second surface, and the operating force from the operating pedal being input to the central portion of the second surface, toward one side in the first direction; a limiting unit connected to the second surface so that, when the operating force is input to the plate-shaped member, the plate-shaped member deforms resiliently into a convex shape having an apex portion at a central portion of the first surface, and which limits movement of the plate-shaped member toward the one side in the first direction; and an operating force detecting unit which detects the operating force on the basis of strain in the plate-shaped member.
