An optical element driving mechanism is provided and includes a movable portion and a fixed portion. The movable portion includes a carrier for carrying an optical member with a first optical axis. The fixed portion has a top surface, a first side surface and a second side surface. The top surface extends in a direction that is parallel to the first optical axis. The first side surface and the second side surface extend in a direction that is not parallel to the first optical axis from the edge of the top surface and face different sides of the optical member. The shortest distance between the optical member and the first side surface is shorter than the shortest distance between the optical member and the second side surface.
