A cascode circuit includes a first field effect transistor which has a source terminal grounded, a second field effect transistor which has a source terminal connected to a drain terminal of the first field effect transistor, and a first capacitor connected between the source terminal of the first field effect transistor and a gate terminal of the second field effect transistor. The first field effect transistor and the second field effect transistor are cascode-connected successively. A capacitance value of the first capacitor is 0.01 to 10 times that between the gate and source terminals of the second field effect transistor.
