A brake caliper includes a caliper body that slidably houses a mechanical operation piston which presses a brake disc; a rotating cylindrical member that is disposed in a same axis as the mechanical operation piston and next to the mechanical operation piston and is rotatably supported by the caliper body; a rotating arm that is fixed to the rotating cylindrical member and rotates the rotating cylindrical member depending on an operation of an operation device; a convert mechanism that is configured between the rotating cylindrical member and the mechanical operation piston, converts a rotational motion of the rotating cylindrical member into a linear motion in an axis direction of the mechanical operation piston and presses to move the mechanical operation piston toward the brake disc; a return spring that is disposed in a same axis as the rotating cylindrical member and at inside or outside of the rotating cylindrical member in a radius direction of the rotating cylindrical member and biases toward a direct
