To provide a variable gain amplifier capable of correcting a DC offset voltage through simpler control even when a gain thereof is changed. A differential output type variable gain amplifier is equipped with a first voltage correction unit coupled to a preceding stage of a variable gain amplifier circuit and for outputting a first correction voltage to correct a potential difference generated between a first conductor provided with a first input resistor and a second conductor provided with a second input resistor, and a second voltage correction unit coupled to a subsequent stage of the variable gain amplifier circuit and for correcting a differential output. A control unit is configured to control the first correction voltage and a correction amount of a potential difference by the second voltage correction unit and thereby attenuate a DC offset voltage included in the differential output.
