An inwardly straddling disc brake in particular for automotive vehicles is disclosed including a brake disc carried at its outer rim, a stationary brake support having two substantially radially extending arms which are interconnected by a connecting portion extending substantially in a circumferential direction and a brake housing which is axially slidably supported at the brake support member and actuable by means of an actuating means and which embraces the inner rim of the brake disc. Two radially extending legs and a substantially axially extending bridge portion connect the two legs. A first brake pad is disposed and supported on one side of the brake disc, in particular in the brake support member and to which pressure can be applied directly by the actuating means. A second brake pad is disposed and supported on the other side of the brake disc, in particular on the brake housing and which can be applied by the respective leg of the housing. To reduce the mounting space required by the brake support member the connecting portion is disposed within the opening formed by the radially extending legs and the bridge portion of the brake housing.
