Abstract: There is provided a lens barrel capable of suppressing deformation of a rear frame upon application of a radial inward force to the rear frame. The lens barrel is a lens barrel attachable to a camera body. The lens barrel includes a lens mount mechanically or electrically connected to the camera body, a fixed frame fixed to the lens mount, and a rear frame that covers an outer periphery of the fixed frame. The rear frame has a tubular portion and flanges that extend from a front end and a rear end of the tubular portion radially inward, and at least a part of a radial inner end of the flange is brought into contact with the fixed frame.
