Abstract: To obtain an imaging unit, a lens barrel, and a portable terminal which can effectively suppress spring-back of solid-state imaging elements, while facilitating height lowering thereof. An imaging unit includes: a solid-state imaging element; and an imaging lens for forming a subject image on a photoelectric conversion part of the solid-state imaging element. An imaging surface of the solid-state imaging element is curved in a manner that a peripheral side is inclined toward an object side relative to a screen center. The imaging lens constrains the solid-state imaging element to prevent a radius of curvature of the imaging surface from varying. Thus, field curvature, distortion aberration, and comatic aberration are appropriately corrected.

With regard to the fifth lens L5 among these lenses, at least one surface is aspherical. The above-described image pickup lens 10 satisfies a conditional expression (1): ?2.50<f5/f<?0.10 . . . (1) where f5 is a focal length of the fifth lens L5 and f is a focal length of the entire system of the image pickup lens 10.
