The subject of the invention is a control device (10) for a twin master cylinder of the type with two master cylinders positioned parallell to one another and side by side, the device (10) being capable of being positioned between an actuating pedal and the pistons of the masters cylinder, the device (10) incorporating a control rod (44) which is capable of being connected to the pedal and two pushrods (28, 28') which are each capable of acting upon one of the pistons, the pushrods (28, 28') being guided so as to slide parallel to the axes of the master cylinders. According to the invention, the control rod (44) cooperates with the push rods (28, 28') through levers (52, 54) each of which is hinged at one end (56, 58) to one of the rods (28, 28') and is pushed so as to bear at the other end (64, 66) upon a bearing surface (62, 60) of the other rod (28', 28) by means of a peg (80) which is firmly fixed to the control rod (44).
