A brake force control apparatus which can quickly supply pressurized brake fluid to wheel cylinders immediately after a condition for starting a brake assist control is established. The brake force control apparatus has emergency brake determining structure for determining an emergency brake operation performed by a driver, a high pressure source for generating a fluid pressure which is higher than a fluid pressure generated by a master cylinder, and a supply for supplying brake fluid from the pump to a wheel cylinder based on the determination made by the emergency brake determining structure. Actuating structure is provided for actuating the high pressure source before the fluid pressure is supplied by the supply.
