A lens drive apparatus for use in camera module, which displaces a lens holder in a direction of an optical axis and first and second directions (X, Y) orthogonal to the optical axis and to each other in collaboration with a plurality of magnets and a plurality of coils (18, 26), the apparatus comprising: an assembly (24, 28, 30) formed by assembling the lens holder together with a magnet holder holding the magnets; a housing (14, 42) that houses the assembly (24, 28, 30), includes a base that is disposed so as to be spaced from the assembly (24, 28, 30), and has an aperture having a size greater than a displacement range of the optical axis resulting from displacement of the assembly (24, 28, 30) in the first and second directions; and a plurality of Hall devices that is disposed on the housing (14, 42) and detects a position of the magnets in the first and second directions (X, Y), wherein: the plurality of coils include: at least one first coil that is fixed to the lens holder and disposed around the lens holder to face one face of each magnet and displaces the lens holder in the direction of the optical axis; and a plurality of second coils that are disposed on the housing (14, 42) to face the opposite faces of the magnets and displace the assembly (24, 28, 30) formed by assembling the lens holder together with the magnet holder holding the magnets, in the first and second directions (X, Y), the magnets, the second coils and the Hall devices are disposed at respective positions outside of the first coil in a radial direction of the lens holder and shifted in the direction of the optical axis with respect to each other, and the plurality of second coils includes: two coils disposed at each side on the base in the first direction to face each other; and two further coils disposed at each side on the base in the second direction to face each other. an assembly (24, 28, 30) formed by assembling the lens holder together with a magnet holder holding the magnets;
