A telescopic actuator includes a rod a support member and a stroke sensor. The support member supports the rod. The stroke sensor is disposed on one end side of the rod. The stroke sensor includes a bar-like section to be detected and a detecting section. The section to be detected can enter into the detecting section. The detecting section detects a length of a portion of the section to be detected that has entered into the detecting section. The rod has a bottomed cylindrical portion that is open toward the one end side. The section to be detected is fixed to a bottom surface of the bottomed cylindrical portion. When the rod is maximally extended, the support member supports an outer peripheral surface of the bottomed cylindrical portion. When the rod is maximally contracted, the detecting section is at least partly housed in the bottomed cylindrical portion.
