Zusammenfassung:[Object] To provide a position detection device that includes a magnetic sensor and that can suppress variation in linearity of measured values due to a temperature change. [Solution] A movement unit 10 is provided with a first magnet 11 and a second magnet 12. A detection unit 20 includes a first magnetic sensor having an axis of sensitivity Sx and a second magnetic sensor having an axis of sensitivity Sz. The movement unit 10 and the detection unit 20 are movable relatively to each other along a movement trajectory Tx. The magnets 11 and 12 have facing surfaces 11a and 12a, each of which is a projecting curved surface having a shape such that both ends thereof are positioned farther away from the movement trajectory Tx than a center portion thereof. This shape can suppress the linearity error for measured values when the magnets are demagnetized in a high-temperature environment.
