A varifocal lens includes a first phase plate including a plurality of first phase conversion elements having different sizes from each other, and a second phase plate including a plurality of second phase conversion elements having different sizes from each other, where the first phase plate and the second phase plate face each other along an optical axis and are movable relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis to create displacement between the first phase plate and the second phase plate, and the plurality of first phase conversion elements and the plurality of second phase conversion elements are configured so that light transmitted through the first phase plate and the second phase plate is focused on different positions on the optical axis depending on the displacement between the first phase plate and the second phase plate.
