A fluid bearing device capable of responding to miniaturization while preventing an operating fluid such as a lubricating oil from leaking out to the outside. The fluid bearing device includes a shaft and a sleeve arranged on an outer periphery with respect to the shaft with a microscopic gap in between, and has an operating fluid filled in between the shaft and the sleeve. The shaft is formed by a sintered body, a radial dynamic pressure generating groove is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the shaft, and the sleeve is formed by a material not allowing the operating fluid to pass through. The shaft is thus covered by the sleeve formed by a material that does not penetrate the operating fluid such as lubricating oil from the outer periphery side, so that the operating fluid does not leak out to the outside even when the shaft is a porous body made of a sintered body.
