Electrohydraulic device for operating an intake or exhaust valve of a combustion engine; the electrohydraulic device comprises a linear hydraulic actuator designed to move the valve axially from a closed position to a maximum opening position, and an electronic control hydraulic distributor designed to regulate the flow of pressurized liquid from and towards the linear hydraulic actuator in order to control movement of the above-mentioned valve between the closed and maximum opening positions; the electronic control hydraulic distributor comprises a slide valve which, by selection, can be set to three positions: a first operating position in which it establishes direct communication between the linear hydraulic actuator and an outlet of the pressurized liquid, a second operating position in which it isolates the linear hydraulic actuator in such a way as to prevent the flow of pressurized liquid from or towards the actuator, and a third operating position which establishes direct communication between the linear hydraulic actuator and an inlet of the pressurized liquid.
