The present invention provides a laser module that can maintain weldability of a lens holder and improve machinability, and it protects a burr from being induced, and thereby improves optical accuracy, improves a reading accuracy of a bar code, improves mass productivity and reduces a manufacturing cost. In a laser module for a bar code reader, which has a packaged structure including a light emitting element and a light projection lens, for collecting a beam emitted from the light emitting element through the light projection lens and irradiating to an irradiation target, it includes: a cylindrical housing, in which the light emitting element is engaged with one end side; and a cylindrical lens holder, which is engaged with the other end side of the housing, for holding therein the light projection lens. Then, the lens holder is provided with: an inner cylinder, which is made of a metal having good machinability, for holding therein the light projection lens; and an outer cylinder engaged with a periphery of the inner cylinder and integrated with the inner cylinder, whose outer circumference is made of a metal having good weldability to be welded to the housing.
