A lighting device 12 of the present invention includes a light output portion 15z from which light is output, a light source 17, and an optical member 15b provided on the light output portion 15z side with respect to the light source 17. The optical member 15b is held by a pair of holding members. The holding members include a first holding member 15a that holds the optical member 15b from the light source 17 side and a second holding member 16 that holds the optical member 15b from an opposite side from the light source 17 side. A buffer 70 is provided in at least one of a space between the optical member 15b and the first holding member 15a and a space between the optical member 15b and the second holding member 16. The buffer 70 has at least one rough surface on a side that abuts the optical member 15b.
