An optical information reading device adapted to apply a light beam from a light source to an information carrier having information recorded thereon as convexities and concavities or variations in a light reflecting factor, and to receive the light reflected from the information carrier, thereby to read the information. A specific arrangement of optical elements such as a beam splitter, lens, and reflecting mirror enables the information reading device as a whole to be reduced in size particularly in length in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the information carrier.
