An optical pickup is provided for driving objective lenses in focusing and radial directions. The pickup includes a movable member, and objective lenses at the center portion of the movable member. The pickup also includes coil blocks provided at two side portions of the movable member, and pairs of magnets flanking the coil blocks in a tangential direction perpendicular to the focusing and radial directions. Support members are attached to the side portions of the movable member, permitting the movable member to move in the focusing direction and the radial direction. Each coil block includes focusing and tracking coils for driving the movable member in the focusing direction and the radial direction. The center portion of the movable member, below which a reflector is arranged, is thinner than the side portions of the movable member.
