A scanning device, a laser projector and an optical device that are capable of accomplishing a wide scanning area in a simple manner include a galvanomirror that is a scanning part scans a laser light in a two-dimensional direction. The laser light from the galvanomirror is incident on a scanning optical system. The scanning optical system includes a first lens group having a positive refracting power and a second lens group having the positive refracting power in this order from the scanning part. The galvanomirror is disposed in the vicinity of a focal position that is located at an incident side of the laser light of the first lens group. The first lens group and second lens group are disposed such that the focal position that is located at an exiting side of the laser light of the first lens group is approximately coincident with the focal position that is located at an incident side of the laser of the second lens group. An absolute value of the value that is calculated by dividing the focal distance of the first lens group by the focal distance of the second lens group is larger than 1.
