A linear encoder includes a scale; a frame in which the scale is held, the frame having an opening that extends in a longitudinal direction of the frame; and a pair of elongated dustproof members arranged to face each other in the opening. At least a part of each dustproof member is elastically deformable. Each dustproof member includes a first end portion in a transverse direction of the dustproof member, a first projecting portion disposed on the first end portion, and a second end portion in the transverse direction. The opening has a pair of fitting recesses formed therein. The first end portion of each dustproof member is fitted in a corresponding one of the fitting recesses, and the first projecting portion contacts the corresponding one of the fitting recesses.
