The present invention is to provide an antenna that is small in size, has such input characteristics as to secure consistency in each band, and is capable of maintaining omnidirectionality, and a wireless communication device that has the antenna mounted thereon. An antenna 101 according to the present invention includes a grounded conductor 11, a shorting pin 13 that is formed with a conductor, and a radiation conductor 12 that has one end 21 connected to the grounded conductor 11 via the shorting pin 13, has the other end 22 left open, and receives power supplied from a feeding point 23 located at the one end. The radiation conductor 12 is folded at a portion between the one end 21 and the other end 22, and forms a lower arm 24 closer to the grounded conductor 11 and a folded upper arm 25, with at least part of the lower arm 24 and the upper arm 25 having a meandered portion 26.
