A supporting structure of a pedal device for a vehicle is provided in which displacement of the stepping surface of the pedal device can be controlled at the time when an external force of a predetermined value or greater is applied from the front of the vehicle. An elongated hole whose longitudinal direction is a substantially longitudinal direction of the vehicle is formed at the intermediate portion of a pedal supporting portion. A clevis pin is inserted into the elongated hole at the front end portion thereof. A bush, which is away from the elongated hole due to the application of load, is mounted to the other remaining portion of the elongated hole. A bush stopper is provided at the rear side of the bush such that, when an external force of a predetermined value or greater is applied from the front of the vehicle, due to the bush stopper, the bush is away from the elongated hole. Therefore, the rearward movement of the clevis pin is enabled so that the distance between a dash panel and a connecting portion of a push rod and the pedal supporting portion can be made to be shorter than that before the application of the external force of a predetermined value or greater from the front of the vehicle. As a result, a pedal pad of a brake pedal can be displaced toward the front of the vehicle.
