An imaging module which cushions an externally applied impact to minimize displacement of an imaging element relative to a lens, whereby the imaging module can stably provide a highly precise image. An imaging module (10) has a holder (3) provided, on the inner side of an outer shell section (3a), with a lens supporting tube section (3b) which is located at the center on the inner side of the outer shell section (3a) and supports a lens (1) which collects light of an object onto an imaging element (8) and also with pin supporting sections (3c) which are located around the lens supporting tube section (3b). The imaging module (10) also has supporting pins (4) respectively inserted in the pin supporting sections (3c) with protruded portions of the supporting pins (4) penetrating through an imaging substrate (2) to support the imaging substrate (2) with the imaging element (8) facing the lens (1). On the inner side of the outer shell section (3a) of the holder (3), there is formed a space surrounding both the lens supporting tube section (3b) and the pin supporting sections (3c) and open from the root side of the lens supporting tube section (3b) to the imaging substrate (2) side. Deformation of the outer shell section (3a) stops in the space, which reduces a change in the position of the imaging element (8) relative to the lens (1) to enable the imaging module to provide a highly precise image.
