The gripping device is attached to an electronic apparatus and is used for gripping the electronic apparatus. The gripping device includes a gripping member of which a side surface is approximately circular, and an operation member that has an operation panel arranged along a circumference of the gripping member and that is operated for causing a predetermined action of the electronic apparatus. The operation member allows at least a first operation that presses the operation panel in a radial direction of the gripping member and a second operation that slides the operation panel in a circumferential direction of the gripping member from a position moved by the first operation.
