A new light-emitting device utilizing phosphorescence is provided. Further, an electronic device and a lighting device which utilize phosphorescence are provided. One embodiment of the present invention is a light-emitting device including a phosphorescent organometallic iridium complex comprising iridium and either pyrimidine having an aryl group at the 4-position or 1,3,5-triazine having an aryl group at the 2-position. One of nitrogen in the pyrimidine or 1,3,5-triazine is coordinated to the iridium. Also, each of the pyrimidine and 1,3,5-triazine has a substituent such as an alkyl group or an aryl group. Further the ortho position of the aryl group which is bonded to the 4-position of the pyrimidine or the 2-position of the 1,3,5-triazine is bonded to the iridium.
