Abstract: An in-vehicle camera includes a lens barrel including at least one lens and being tubular, an imaging element disposed on the circuit board and on an optical axis of the at least one lens, a ring member made of a first resin having a first light transmittance, and disposed to protrude in a direction away from the optical axis over an entire periphery of the lens barrel, and a housing portion a part of which has a tubular shape, and one end surface of the tubular shape is made of a second resin having a second light transmittance smaller than the first light transmittance. The in-vehicle camera further includes a third resin disposed on an inner side of the tubular shape between the ring member and the imaging element in a direction of the optical axis, and having a third light transmittance smaller than the first light transmittance.
