An optical pickup including an actuator having a holder supporting portion for movably supporting a lens holder with an objective lens via a supporting member, a base member for mounting the holding supporting portion thereon, and an electromagnetic driving section for driving the lens holder in at least the focusing direction, an optical chassis for mounting the base member thereon, a light-emitting element for emitting a light beam to a disc via the objective lens, and a light receiving element for receiving the feedback light beam from the disc. The base member has a through hole formed at a position opposing the bottom surface of the lens holder and having such a size that the lens holder can be loosely fitted therein. The optical chassis has a stopper portion opposing the bottom surface of the lens holder via the through hole so as to regulate the allowable amount of movement of the lens holder toward the side opposite from the disc in the focusing direction. Accordingly, the total thickness of the optical pickup may be reduced.
