A vibration actuator includes: a movable body; a pair of elastic support parts each of which includes a flat-plate-shaped leaf spring connected to the movable body and extending radially and is configured to support the movable body; a fixing body configured to connect to the elastic support parts and accommodate therein the movable body such that the movable body is capable of reciprocally vibrating axially; and a cylindrical resin case having an opening portion on a circumferential wall portion and configured to close upper and lower faces of the circumferential wall portion and accommodate therein the fixing body. A lid portion of the case is disposed at a height such that a moving space as a movable range for the movable body is secured and the movable range is limited by contact of the movable body and the lid portion upon extension of the elastic support parts.
