According to the present disclosure, there is provided a self-energizing brake caliper which comprises a caliper bracket fixed to a vehicle frame and comprising a rotation axis extending in the height direction of the vehicle; a first caliper arm rotatably connected to the rotation axis; a second caliper arm rotatably connected to the rotation axis and crossing the first caliper arm; an inboard brake pad; and an outboard brake pad. The first caliper arm is slidably connected at a first end of the inboard brake pad in the inboard side of the brake disc and the outer end of the first caliper arm is connected to a second end of the outboard brake pad. The second caliper arm is connected to the second end of the inboard brake pad in the inboard side of the brake disc and the outer end of the second caliper arm is slidably connected to the first end of the outboard brake pad. The driving force of an actuator is transferred to the inner ends of the first caliper arm and the second caliper arm.
