A zoom lens includes, in order from the object side, a positive first group, a negative second group, a stop, a positive third group, a negative fourth group, and a positive fifth group. During magnification change from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, the first to fourth groups are moved to always increase the distance between the first and second groups, always decrease the distance between the second and third groups, and change the distance between the third and fourth groups and the distance between the fourth and fifth groups. The third group includes, in order from the object side, at least a positive lens, a positive lens, a negative lens, and a positive lens, and satisfies condition expression (1) below: 25
