An optical pickup has a pair of left and right leg portions formed integrally at both side edge portions of a rear end portion of a resilient plate. The leg portions extend forwardly along a horizontal longitudinal direction. A pair of fixing holes are penetratingly provided in the respective leg portions on a transverse phantom line passing through a central portion of the resilient plate and extending in a horizontal transverse direction and at positions spaced apart an equal interval from a longitudinal phantom line passing through the central portion of the resilient plate and extending in the horizontal longitudinal direction. A pair of fixing screws are screwed into a pair of threaded holes in a mounting surface of a base through the fixing holes, thereby fixing the leg portions to the mounting surface.
