To provide a zoom lens having a wide field angle and high optical performance in the entire zoom range.

In the zoom lens which includes a first lens group having negative refractive power, a second lens group having positive refractive power, a third lens group having negative refractive power, and a fourth lens group having positive refractive power from an object side to an image side in order and in which the intervals between the respective lens groups change when zooming is performed, the second lens group includes at least one second N lens having negative refractive power, the third lens group includes at least one third P lens having positive refractive power, and the Abbe number, partial dispersion ratio d2N, gF2N of the second N lens, and the Abbe number, partial dispersion ratio d3P, gF3P of the third P lens are properly set, respectively.
