An injection device comprises an actuator adapted when actuated to cause commencement of an injection sequence; a locking mechanism adapted to be moved between a locked position in which the locking mechanism prevents the actuator from being actuated, and an unlocked position in which the actuator can be actuated to cause commencement of the injection sequence. An indicator is configured to provide a visual indication of whether the locking mechanism is in its locked position or in its unlocked position.
