An imaging device includes: a pixel array part in which a plurality of pixel groups each including four pixels arranged in a matrix of 2&#xd7;2 is arrayed. As a pixel group including four pixels, there are formed a first pixel group that includes three pixels that receive red light and one pixel that receives infrared light, a second pixel group that includes three pixels that receive blue light and one pixel that receives infrared light, a third pixel group that includes three pixels that receive green light and one pixel that receives infrared light, and a fourth pixel group that includes three pixels that receive green light and one pixel that receives infrared light. Four pixel groups including the first pixel group, the second pixel group, the third pixel group, and the fourth pixel group are arranged to form a set of 2&#xd7;2 units in which the first pixel group and the second pixel group are diagonally positioned, and the third pixel group and the fourth pixel group are diagonally positioned.
