  The effect of Lorentz symmetry violation in the phenomenon of photon
gravitational bending, is investigated. Using a semiclassical approach, where
the photon is described by the Carrol-Field-Jackiw (CFJ) electrodynamics which
is responsible for implementing the Lorentz symmetry violation, the
gravitational deflection angle related to the CFJ photon is computed. As
expected, this bending angle experiences a deviation from the usual Einstein
result and the latter is recovered in the appropriate limit. A comparison
between the theoretical prediction and the experimental results allows to
conclude that no trace of Lorentz symmetry breaking is found provided the
components of the background vector field are $\lesssim 10^{-8}$ eV.
