An optical pickup for recording/reproducing information on/from an optical disc having recording layers, includes a light source; an objective lens for condensing an optical beam emitted from the light source on the recording layer; a photo-detector having a light-receiving section for receiving return light from the optical disc; an optical-path separating unit for separating the optical path of the return light reflected by the optical disc from the optical path of the optical beam emitted from the light source; and a masking member having a masking unit shielding part of a passing-through optical beam, in which the masking unit shields the central region of the optical beam to be incident in the light-receiving section among the optical beams reflected by the other recording layers or surfaces different from the recording layer recording/reproducing information so as not to admit the central region to the light-receiving section.
