Provided is a manufacturing method of an imaging module which includes a lens unit having a housing in which a lens barrel and a lens drive unit are accommodated, and an imaging element unit. The manufacturing method includes, a first process of holding the lens unit and the imaging element unit on a axis orthogonal to a measurement chart, a second process of moving the imaging element unit in the direction of the axis and imaging the measurement chart at each position, and a third process of adjusting the inclination of the imaging element unit with respect to the lens unit based on imaging signals of the measurement chart. In the first process, a tubular portion of which a position in a plane perpendicular to the axis is fixed and the lens barrel are fitted to each other.
