PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an on-vehicle imaging device capable of accurately adjusting an optical axis of an imaging unit with respect to a housing while suppressing precise processing to the housing as much as possible.SOLUTION: A stereo camera 20 mounted on a vehicle 100 includes: camera modules 1A and 1B having a lens 6B and an imaging element 7A; and a stay 3 for holding the camera modules 1A and 1B. The stay 3 and camera modules 1A and 1B are fixed by an adhesion layer 13 without engagement. The fixation is kept in the state in which the optical axis between the camera module 1A and camera module 1B and the optical axis between the camera modules 1A and 1B and the stay 3 are adjusted accurately.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】筐体への精密な加工を極力抑えつつ、高精度な筐体に対する撮像部の光軸調整が可能な車載撮像装置を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】車両１００に搭載されるステレオカメラ２０は、レンズ６Ｂおよび撮像素子７Ａを有するカメラモジュール１Ａ，１Ｂと、カメラモジュール１Ａ，１Ｂを保持するステー３と、を備え、ステー３とカメラモジュール１Ａ，１Ｂとが係合せずに接着層１３によって固定されており、カメラモジュール１Ａとカメラモジュール１Ｂとの光軸およびステー３に対するカメラモジュール１Ａ，１Ｂの光軸が高精度に調整された状態で固定されている。【選択図】 図７
