The imaging lens includes, in order from the object side, a first lens group that remains stationary during focusing; a diaphragm; and a positive second lens group that moves to the object side during focusing from a long range to a close range. The first lens group includes, in order from the object side: a negative meniscus lens that has an absolute value of a radius of curvature of an image side surface smaller than that of an object side surface, a negative lens, a positive lens, and a negative lens. The second lens group includes five or less lenses, and includes: a positive Z lens that is formed continuously in order from a most image side; a negative Y lens that has an absolute value of a radius of curvature of an object side surface smaller than that of an image side surface; and a positive X lens.
