To provide an image display apparatus and a display apparatus including the image display apparatus which are capable of achieving further simplification of an apparatus configuration, achieving further speed-up of generation of a super multi-view, achieving further suppression of an apparatus manufacturing cost, and achieving further suppression of an adjustment cost of an optical axis. Provided is an image display apparatus including a light source, at least two image forming apparatuses, a quarter-wave plate, a beam splitter, a lens, and an eyepiece for each of eyes of a user. Out of the at least two image forming apparatuses, a first image forming apparatus is provided in a predetermined angular direction with respect to an optical axis of the lens, and a second image forming apparatus is provided in a direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens. Light emitted from the light source is incident on the first image forming apparatus and the second image forming apparatus via the lens, the beam splitter, and the quarter-wave plate in this order. First image light emitted from the first image forming apparatus and second image light emitted from the second image forming apparatus are incident on each of the eyes of the user via the quarter-wave plate, the beam splitter, and the eyepiece in this order.
