The present technology relates to a solid-state imaging element and an electronic device capable of improving image quality of the solid-state imaging element. The solid-state imaging element includes a photoelectric conversion unit adapted to photoelectrically convert incident light incident from a predetermined incident surface. Also, the solid-state imaging element includes a wire arranged on a bottom surface side that is an opposite surface of the incident surface of the photoelectric conversion unit, and formed with a protruding pattern on a surface facing the photoelectric conversion unit. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a solid-state imaging element such as a CMOS image sensor, and an electronic device including the solid-state imaging element.
