Provided are embodiments of a camera module and a mobile terminal having the same. In embodiments, the manufacturing process may be simplified, a defect ratio may be reduced, and product reliability may be improved. The camera module can include a lens assembly, an image sensor formed below the lens assembly, a lens holder covering the image sensor and coupled to the lens assembly, a substrate having a groove corresponding to a shape of a lower surface of the lens holder to allow the lens holder to be inserted and fixed in the groove, and a curing adhesive for attaching the substrate to the lens holder. In an embodiment, the curing adhesive can be an ultra-violet curing adhesive.
