A brake cable mounting structure for a drum brake, in which even if the distance from the brake mounting surface to the center of the brake shoes in the width direction is short, the layout of the brake cable mounting section and the mechanical expander is efficient and effectively provided. Further, the anchor only need to support the braking force, thereby making the device smaller and lighter. The brake cable mounting structure of this invention is characterized in that the inner cable of the brake cable extends out from the brake; and the guide pipe on which the outer casing of the brake cable is integrally fixed with the back plate.
