A ranging device is configured to measure a distance to an object by scanning an outside with light and detecting the light reflected from the object. The ranging device includes a mirror, an oscillating shaft, an actuator. The mirror is configured to oscillate to scan the outside with the light and fixed to the oscillating shaft. The actuator is configured to drive the oscillating shaft to oscillate by being energized. The actuator includes a rotor magnet and a rotor fixing portion. The oscillating shaft is inserted through the rotor magnet. The rotor fixing portion fixes the rotor magnet to the oscillating shaft. The rotor fixing portion restricts the rotor magnet from moving in an axial direction, a radial direction, and a rotational direction of the oscillating shaft. The rotor fixing portion includes a retaining plate and an elastic member. The oscillating shaft is rotatably supported by a bearing.
