A novel carbazole compound that can be used for a transport layer, a host material, or a light-emitting material in a light-emitting element. In the carbazole compound, two carbazole skeletons each include carbazole, the 3-position of which is bonded to the 4-position of a dibenzofuran skeleton or a dibenzothiophene skeleton and these two carbazole skeletons are linked via benzene or biphenyl. The carbazole compound has an excellent carrier-transport property and a wide energy gap and can be suitably used for a material in a light-emitting element or for an organic semiconductor material.
