In a backlight assembly and an LCD apparatus having the same, a lamp-fixing member includes a base substrate, a fixing clip protruded from a base substrate so as to fix a lamp and a fixing portion formed by partially cutting-away the base substrate. A mold frame includes a receiving portion for receiving the lamp-fixing member and the receiving portion includes a fixing protrusion inserted into the fixing portion. The fixing protrusion includes a supporting portion formed at an end of the fixing protrusion and coupled to the base substrate when the lamp-fixing member is slid. Accordingly, the backlight assembly may have an improved light efficiency and an enhanced assemblability.
