An object of the present invention is to provide a hydraulic control apparatus capable of layout flexibility. A hydraulics control apparatus includes a second unit (a hydraulic unit) and a first unit (a stroke simulator unit). The second unit includes a housing including a brake fluid passage therein, a positive pressure fluid passage and a back-pressure fluid passage (a unit connection fluid passage) each having one end side connected to the brake fluid passage, a positive pressure port and a back-pressure port (a unit connection port) provided on a surface of the housing and connected to the other end sides of the positive pressure fluid passage and the back-pressure fluid passage, a pump (a hydraulic source) provided inside the housing and configured to generate a hydraulic pressure in each of wheel cylinders of a vehicle via the brake fluid passage, and a motor attached to a surface of the housing and configured to actuate the pump. The first unit includes a stroke simulator. The stroke simulator is configured to generate a reaction force of the brake pedal operation. The first unit further includes a first connection fluid passage and a second connection fluid passage (a simulator connection fluid passage) each having one end side connected to the stroke simulator, and a simulator first connection port and a simulator second connection port (a simulator connection port).
