The invention provides a device (10) for driving a windscreen wiper, which comprises a bearing body (12), a drive shaft (20) rotatably mounted relative to the bearing body (12), a housing (19) for guiding the drive shaft (20) in rotation about its axis (A1) which is pivotally mounted relative to the bearing body (12) about an axis (A2) which is orthogonal to the axis (A1) of the drive shaft (20), a shaft drive motor (16), a pinion gear mechanism (28) and rack (30) which causes pivoting of the shaft (20) to vary the inclination of the axis (A1) of the shaft (20) with respect to the bearing body (12) as a function of the angular position of the drive shaft ( 20), characterized in that the drive motor (16) is carried by the guide housing (19).
