An in-line roller skate with a braking device is disclosed including a certain number of wheels (11) disposed longitudinally between two plates of a frame (22) of the skate. A control lever (1) articulated at the rear of the boot about a pivot shaft (19) can be actuated by a backward movement of the skate cuff. When rotating, the lower part (2) of the lever (1) pushes a rod (3) forwards and lengthways against return means (10a, 10b), said rod carrying brake pads (5) in an equal number to the number of the discs (6) placed on the wheels 8 (11) and ramps (7a, 7b) co-operating with complementary parts of the frame guiding the rod in order, during a forward movement, to bring the pads into contact with an upper part of the rotating discs. The ramps are positioned between two wheels so as to assure gentle and gradual braking.
