A driving device for a massager includes a bracket, a power mechanism, a connecting rod mechanism and a swing rod mechanism. The connecting rod mechanism includes a connecting rod seat, a driving connection rod and a driven connection rod which are rotatably connected in sequence. A first end of the swing rod mechanism is rotatably connected to the bracket, and a rear end of the swing rod mechanism is rotatably connected to the driven connection rod. The driven connection rod carries out a linear reciprocating motion under the driving action of the driving connection rod and the limiting action of the swing rod mechanism. The massager using the driving device of the present disclosure can guide the driven connection rod without a bushing. The present disclosure also provides a massager having the driving device.
