A lens member includes a glass ball lens to which sphericity processing has been previously performed, and a resin mounting portiondisposed on the glass ball lens. The mounting portion is molded by flowing the resin in a flowable state into a die including the glass ball lens disposed therein. The mounting portion includes a reference face that abuts on a mounting face in a case where the glass ball lens is surface-mounted, provided thereto.
