A lithographic apparatus includes a first movable element (such as an immersion liquid supply system), which is in operation in contact with a surface of a second movable element (such as a substrate table). Further, the lithographic apparatus includes a second element controller (such as a substrate table controller) to control a position quantity of the second movable element. Disturbance forces caused by, e.g., movements of the first and second movable elements with respect to each other, due to capillary forces disturb a position of the first and second movable elements. To at least partly correct a position of the second movable element due to such disturbance forces, the lithographic apparatus includes a feedforward control path to provide a disturbance force feedforward signal to the second element controller, the feedforward control path including a disturbance force estimator to estimate a disturbance force from a position quantity of the first movable element.
