Provided is a polyfunctional compound which can be used as an optical recording material in which a large quantity of information data can be recorded optically at a high density, which can be used as an optical waveguide material using a refractive index difference occurring between a light-irradiated part and a part not irradiated with light, and which is capable of forming a film and can be used as a photo-alignment film material having excellent photosensitivity. The polyfunctional compound of the present invention includes a chemical structure represented by General Formula (1): where: R1 and R2 each independently represent any of H, CH3, and Cl; X1 to X3 each independently represent any of -O-, -NH-, and -N(alkyl)-; A1 to A3 each independently represent a divalent connecting group; and L1 to L3 each independently represent any of a photoisomerization group, a liquid-crystal group, and H, and at least one of L1 to L3 represents a photoisomerization group.
