A sensor shifting actuator includes a fixed body; a moving body disposed in the fixed body and including an image sensor having an imaging surface; a supporting substrate disposed in the fixed body and configured to support the moving body so that the moving body is movable with respect to the fixed body in first and second directions parallel to the imaging surface of the image sensor; and a driver configured to move the moving body in either one or both of the first and second directions. The supporting substrate includes a movable portion coupled to the moving body, a fixed portion coupled to the fixed body, and a connection portion disposed between the movable portion and the fixed portion. The movable portion and the connection portion are movable together in the first direction, and the movable portion is movable with respect to the connection portion in the second direction.
