A fan braking structure includes a fan including a frame having an upright bearing cup, and a fan impeller having a vertical rotating shaft pivotally received in the bearing cup and provided at a free end with a groove; a braking structure located at a lower part of the bearing cup and including a brake plate and an electromagnet, and the brake plate being provided at one side with a protruded brake pin and at another side with a magnetic member; and an elastic element disposed between and pressed against a top of the shell and the brake plate. When the fan is inactive, the electromagnet is energized to produce magnetic poles that repel the magnetic member and compress the elastic element, such that the brake pin is magnetically pushed toward the rotating shaft to engage with the groove, causing the fan to brake and stop rotating inertially.
