An inverted equal-magnification relay lens includes, in order from an object side: a first lens group having a positive power, and disposed near an object; a second lens group having a positive power, and disposed at a predetermined distance from the first lens group; and a third lens group having a negative power; wherein an entrance pupil position is more toward an object surface side than the first lens group, an exit pupil position is more toward a third lens group side than an image surface, and the following Formulas (1) and (2) are satisfied: 0.65≤|G1F/G2F|≤2.0 . . . (1); 0.35≤|G3F/G2F|≤3.1 . . . (2); where: G1F: a focal length of the first lens group; G2F: a focal length of the second lens group; and G3F: a focal length of the third lens group.
