A tracking error detecting method comprises the steps of causing intensity distributions of single light introduced into an objective lens to have symmetry with respect to the track direction of an optical recording medium and the direction oblique to the direction perpendicular to the track direction, dividing a light-receiving unit into at least light-receiving units of the track direction and light-receiving units of the direction perpendicular to the track direction and detecting a tracking error signal based on detection signals from the divided light-receiving units.
