Provided is an electric booster capable of detecting a movement position of an input member in a wide range along an axial direction. The electric booster includes an input rod formed of a magnetic material, an input plunger formed of a non-magnetic material, and an input piston formed of a magnetic material. A stroke detector includes respective magnet members arranged so that magnetic poles are aligned along a movement direction of the input plunger, and a Hall sensor unit that is fixed to a housing, and detects a movement position of the input plunger in accordance with a magnetic flux density from the respective magnet members. As a result, a flat magnetic flux distribution having a wide region along the axial direction is provided, and the movement position of the input plunger can be detected relatively precisely in a wide range along the axial direction.
