It is the object of the present invention to provide a retardation film comprising a norbornene type copolymer, being excellent in heat resistance, low specific gravity, low birefringence, low photoelasticity, and low chromatic dispersion and having high performance of retardation compensation. The present invention is a retardation film, which comprises a norbornene type copolymer composition containing a norbornene type copolymer containing 40 to 60% by mole of a repeating unit derived from at least one kind of a norbornene type monomer selected from a group consisting of a monomer represented by the general formula (I), a monomer represented by the general formula (II), a monomer represented by the general formula (III), a monomer represented by the general formula (IV) and a monomer represented by the general formula (V), and 60 to 40% by mole of a repeating unit derived from an acyclic olefin type monomer, a stretched film obtained by forming the norbornene type copolymer composition in a film form and then stretching the film two times as large while heating the film to a glass transition temperature determined by a dynamic viscoelasticity, having an in-plane birefringence value Deltan defined by the following formula in a range of 0.0033 or higher: <?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?>Deltan=|nx-ny|<?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?>
