A variable gain amplifier is provided. The variable gain amplifier includes a first cascode amplifier which includes a first common source transistor and a first common gate transistor, a second cascode amplifier which forms a differential pair with the first cascode amplifier and includes a second common source transistor and a second common gate transistor, and a gain adjustment unit having a side connected to the drain of the first common source transistor and the source of the first common gate transistor and another side connected to the drain of the second common source transistor and the source of the second common gate transistor.
