A zoom lens barrel includes a rotary feed cylinder which is moved in an optical axis direction while being rotated; a linear movement cylinder which is provided within the rotary feed cylinder; and a connecting structure for connecting the linear movement cylinder to the rotary feed cylinder. The connecting structure includes at least two circumferential grooves centered about the optical axis, provided on the inner peripheral surface of the rotary feed cylinder or the outer peripheral surface of the linear movement cylinder, at different positions in the optical axis direction; and at least two radially extending engagement pawls which correspond to the at least two circumferential grooves, the engagement pawls being engaged in the circumferential grooves so as to slide in the circumferential direction and so as not to relatively move in the optical axis direction.
