A heat exchanger includes a plate-shaped fin elongated in a longitudinal direction, a plurality of heat transfer tubes passing through the fin, and a distributor that distributes refrigerant to, from among the plurality of heat transfer tubes, two heat transfer tubes. The distributor includes an inflow portion being linear and connected to one of the plurality of heat transfer tubes, a turn-back portion continuous with the inflow portion, a first outflow portion being linear, continuous with the turn-back portion and running in parallel to the inflow portion, a second outflow portion being linear, continuous with the turn-back portion and branching from the first outflow portion, and a connection pipe continuous with the second outflow portion and including a plurality of bent portions. The second outflow portion is connected via the connection pipe to the heat transfer tube not adjacent to the heat transfer tube connected to the first outflow portion.
