A vibratory actuator includes a vibration body, a contact body, a base, a holding member, and a flexible substrate. The vibration body includes an elastic body and an electro-mechanical energy conversion element. The contact body is in contact with the elastic body and relatively moves with the vibration body due to vibration of the vibration body. One end of the flexible substrate is arranged along a first surface of the holding member and is folded back with respect to an end portion of the holding member toward a second surface of the holding member on a back side of the first surface, and an other end of the flexible substrate is supported by a portion of the base. The flexible substrate separates from the second surface to form a U-turn portion so that the one end and the other end of the flexible substrate are electrically connected.
