A vehicle pedal device comprising:
- a pedal pad disposed to he inclined such that a height of the pedal pad becomes higher toward a front side, a lower end portion of the pedal pad being rotatably supported, an upper surface of the pedal pad being a surface to which a stepping-on force is applied;
- a housing provided below the pedal pad and provided with a through-hole on a facing wall facing a lower surface of the pedal pad;
- a first link passing through the through-hole, a first end portion of the first link being rotatably connected to the pedal pad, a second end portion of the first link being disposed in the housing;
- a second link, a first end portion of the second link being rotatably connected to the second end portion of the first link, a second end portion of the second link being supported in the housing such that the second end portion of the second link is rotatable in a first rotation direction in which the pedal pad is displaced upward and a second rotation direction in which the pedal pad is displaced downward;
- a first urging member configured to urge the second link in the first rotation direction;
- and
- a friction portion pressed against a pressed portion provided in the housing and configured to apply a rotation resistance to the second link by being rubbed with the pressed portion while rotating along with the second link.
