A light emitting module includes: a light source; and an optical member configured to control a distribution of light emitted from the light source. The optical member comprises an incident face on which the light from the light source is incident, and an output face through which the light incident on the incident face exits. In a plan view: the optical member is shaped to have a long axis and a short axis orthogonal to the long axis, and a central axis of the optical member passes through a center of the light source, a center of the incident face, and a center of the output face, while being orthogonal to a long axis direction parallel to the long axis and a short axis direction parallel to the short axis.
