An imaging lens includes, sequentially from an object side, a positive first lens; a negative second lens; a positive third lens having a convex surface on an image plane side; a fourth lens that is a meniscus lens having a convex surface on the image plane side; and a fifth lens having a refractive power that gradually changes from negative at the lens center to positive at the lens periphery, where the first lens and the second lens are disposed having an interval therebetween.
