An imaging lens consists of a first lens-group consisting of a positive lens with its surface that has the smaller absolute value of a curvature-radius facing an object-side, a positive lens in meniscus-shape with its convex-surface facing the object-side, a positive lens with its surface that has the smaller absolute value of a curvature-radius facing the object-side, and a negative lens with its surface that has the smaller absolute value of a curvature-radius facing an image-side, an aperture stop, a second lens-group consisting of a negative lens with its surface that has the smaller absolute value of a curvature-radius facing the object-side, a positive lens with its surface that has the smaller absolute value of a curvature-radius facing the image-side, and a positive lens, and a third lens-group consisting of a positive lens and a negative lens in this order from the object-side. A predetermined conditional expression is satisfied.
