A fluid dispenser having a housing and a pump action fluid discharge device. The pump action fluid discharge device is arranged to be actuated by one or more levers which are pivotally supported within the housing. When the or each lever is rotated about its lower end the fluid discharge device is urged towards a nozzle causing a single dose of fluid to be dispensed from the nozzle. Various mechanisms are proposed for converting the transverse application of force from each lever into a force along a longitudinal axis of the fluid discharge device.
