There is disclosed an optical deflector comprising an oscillating member including a movable plate allowed to oscillate, the movable plate including a coil extending along its periphery, and a magnetic field generation portion, such that the movable plate oscillates in accordance with a force generated by an interaction of a current flowing through the coil with the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generation portion, wherein the movable plate has first and second surfaces extending in substantially parallel with each other, an imaginary plane including the first surface of the movable plate in a neutral position defines two spaces, one including the second surface of the movable plate and the other not including the second surface, and the magnetic field generation portion is positioned in the space including the second surface of the movable plate.
