An electric caliper brake is provided. The electric caliper brake includes a carrier in which a pair of pad plates are installed to be movable forward and backward, and a caliper housing in which a cylinder having a piston installed to be movable forward to and backward from the carrier due to a hydraulic pressure is provided. The electric caliper brake includes a power transmission module, which includes a spindle member installed to pass through a rear portion of the cylinder and configured to receive rotational power from an actuator to rotate, and a nut member screw-coupled to the spindle member, disposed in the piston, and configured to move forward or backward according to rotation of the spindle member to operate the piston, wherein the spindle member includes a first screw thread portion corresponding to a screw thread formed on the nut member and a second screw thread portion, which is disposed to have the same axis as that of the first screw thread portion and has a pitch which is different from that of the first screw thread portion, and when the nut member rotates about the second screw thread portion, a frictional force between the screw thread of the nut member and the second screw thread increases.
