An optical pickup includes: a slide base, having: a first surface; and a second surface; a first substrate fixed to the first surface; a standing frame disposed on the second surface; a second substrate facing the standing frame; a laser diode operable to emit a laser beam to the disk and disposed in the standing frame; an optical, element supported by the second substrate and adapted to receive a reflected beam; a flexible flat cable. The flexible flat cable is bent so that one end portion of the flexible flat cable is connected to the second substrate. A curved portion is formed with a slit elongated in a longitudinal direction of the flexible flat cable and defines an outer portion and an inner portion. A width of the inner portion is narrower than a width of the outer portion.
