An optical encoding device includes a light source module, an encoding disc, and a photodetector. The light source module emits a source beam. The encoding disc is disposed on a passing path of the source beam. The encoding disc has first diffracting patterns. The first diffracting patterns include a plurality of sets of first diffracting patterns arranged along a radial direction of the encoding disc. Each set of the first diffracting patterns includes a plurality kinds of first diffracting patterns having different pattern extending directions and different pattern periods. When the encoding disc is rotating, the first diffracting patterns in each set of first diffracting patterns enter the passing path of the source beam in sequence, to cause a diffraction and form diffracted beams having different angles. The photodetector receives the diffracted beams having the different angles.
