An illumination apparatus includes: a light source including at least one light-emitting element, the light-emitting element being configured to emit light and having an uneven light distribution characteristic; a coupling optical system disposed corresponding to the light source and configured to convert the light emitted from the light source into substantially parallel light; a light condensing optical system configured to condense the light from the light source, converted into the substantially parallel light by the coupling optical system, at a predetermined focal position; an illuminated surface as an object to be illuminated by the light from the light source condensed by the light condensing optical system; and an optical element disposed between the coupling optical system and the light condensing optical system, and configured to reduce irregular distribution of an amount of light on the illuminated surface caused by the light distribution characteristic of the light-emitting element.
