A solid-state imaging device includes a light-shielding layer that is disposed in a pixel region containing a pixel including a photoelectric conversion element and a charge holding portion and a peripheral region in which a signal from the pixel is processed and that is electrically connected to a substrate at a contact portion in the peripheral region, a first insulating layer that has an end portion between the charge holding portion and the contact portion in plan view and that is disposed between the substrate and the light-shielding layer, and a first insulating member that is disposed on a side surface of the end portion of the first insulating layer and that buffers a step due to the end portion. A portion of the light-shielding layer overlapping the first insulating member in the plan view has an upper surface having a shape following a shape of the first insulating member.
