The invention provides an eddy current retarder. The eddy current retarder comprises a stator, a rotor and a vibration damper, wherein the stator is used for generating a magnetic field; the rotor is used for cutting the magnetic field to generate a braking torque; the rotor is only positioned at one side of the stator; the vibration damper is positioned at the other side of the stator; both the rotor and the vibration damper are connected with a vehicle transmission shaft, and are in circular motion relative to the stator.
