The invention relates to a footrest extension mechanism and a seat telescopic device. The footrest extension mechanism comprises a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, a third connecting rod, a fourth connecting rod, a first footrest piece, a linkage rod, a second footrest piece and a footrest connecting piece, one end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the first footrest piece, the other end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the first connecting rod, the first connecting rod is used for being hinged to a linkage support of a seat, one end of the fourth connecting rod is hinged to the second footrest piece, the other end of the fourth connecting rod is hinged to the third connecting rod, the first footrest piece is hinged to one end of the linkage rod, and the other end of the linkage rod is hinged to the middle of the fourth connecting rod; one end of a first connecting piece of the footrest connecting piece is hinged to the middle of the second footrest piece, the other end of the first connecting piece is hinged to one end of a second connecting piece, the other end of the second connecting piece is hinged to the middle of a second connecting rod, and the middle of the second connecting piece is hinged to the middle of a fourth connecting rod. The footrest extension mechanism is advantaged in that adjusting flexibility of the footrest extension mechanism can be improved, and the extension length of the footrest extension mechanism can be increased.
