An optical apparatus is disclosed which can suppress an increase in size thereof even if its lens is driven in a large movable range. The apparatus comprises a first linear actuator which includes a first member to which an electrical signal is input and a second member whose length in an optical axis direction is longer than the first member, and drives a first lens in a first movable range in the optical axis direction. The apparatus comprises a second linear actuator which includes a third member to which an electrical signal is input and a fourth member whose length in the optical axis direction is longer than the third member, and drives a second lens in a second movable range in the optical axis direction. The first member is moved together with the first lens in the optical axis direction, with respect to the second member.
