A light-emitting element with high luminous efficiency is provided. The light-emitting element contains a first organic compound and a second organic compound. The first and second organic compounds form an exciplex. The first organic compound emits no fluorescence but phosphorescence at a temperature ranging from low temperature to normal temperature. The luminescence quantum yield of the first organic compound is higher than or equal to 0% and lower than or equal to 40% at room temperature. Light emitted from the light-emitting element includes light emitted from an exciplex formed by the first organic compound and the second organic compound.
