An optoelectronic sensor is provided that has an image sensor for the detection of image data in its field of view and an aiming device having a light source that is arranged laterally offset from the image sensor and that is configured to generate alignment light and thus a light pattern in the field of view to make the position and/or extent of the field of view in space visible. In this respect, the aiming device has at least one optical metaelement having a metasurface and/or a metamaterial that is arranged and configured such that the optical axes of the image sensor and the aiming device are coaxially superposed.
