An actuator is provided. In order to reduce the planar area of an actuator, a first magnetic drive circuit and a third magnetic drive circuit that vibrate a movable body in an X direction with respect to a support are provided respectively on both sides, in a Z direction, of a second magnetic drive circuit that vibrates the movable body in a Y direction with respect to the support. The movable ranges, in the X direction and the Y direction, of the movable body with respect to the support are regulated by a stopper mechanism constituted between a first magnet and a first coil holder holding a first coil, a stopper mechanism constituted between a second magnet and a second coil holder holding a second coil, and a stopper mechanism constituted between a third magnet and a third coil holder holding a third coil.
