A vibration motor, comprising:

• a stationary portion;
• a movable portion which is capable of vibrating with respect to the stationary portion along a central axis extending in an up-down direction;
• and
• an elastic member,
• wherein the stationary portion comprises:
• a case comprising a housing which is disposed radially outside from the movable portion and has a cylindrical shape extending along the central axis, and
• a coil which is capable of applying a driving force to the movable portion;
• wherein the movable portion comprises:
• a magnet which extends along the central axis, and
• a holder which is disposed above the magnet;
• wherein the holder comprises:
• an upper portion which extends in a direction intersecting with the central axis and is disposed above an upper surface of the magnet, and
• a side surface portion which extends downward from a radial outer edge part of the upper portion and is fixed to a radial outer side surface of the magnet;
• wherein the elastic member is disposed between the upper portion and the case along the central axis;
• and
• a bottom end part of the elastic member is fixed to the upper portion.
