A lens drive device capable of preventing a lens holder from inclining with respect to the optical axis direction of a lens is provided. A first gear (13), a second gear (14), a protrusion (20a), and a coil spring (6) are coaxially supported by a shaft (5), which is a fixed shaft. The rotational motion is transmitted to a two-stage gear (12) by rotating a rotor (11a) of a step motor (11) clockwise or counterclockwise. The rotational motion of the two-stage gear (12) is in turn transmitted to the first gear (13) and the second gear (14). When the first gear (13) and the second gear (14) rotate, the degree of engagement between an internally threaded portion (131a) of the first gear (13) and an externally threaded portion (141a) of the second gear (14) increases, and the second gear (14) moves upward. As the second gear (14) moves upward, a lens holder (20), urged upward by the elastic force of the coil spring (6), moves upward along the optical axis of a lens (21).
