In an edge incident type semiconductor light receiving device that reflects light incident parallel to the main surface of the semiconductor substrate opaque to the incident light to the light receiving section on the main surface side, a light guide section is formed to expose the light receiving section along the light incident direction from the light incident side end of the semiconductor substrate, and in order to guide the light incident on the light guide section to the light receiving section, a light reflection section having a given crossing angle with the main surface is provided at the end of the light guide section in the light incident direction.
