Disclosed are a charge transport material having excellent heat resistance, film-forming properties, charge transport and luminescence, and an organic electroluminescent element having high luminance and high luminous efficiency and long life. The present invention relates to a charge transport material comprising a compound having two or more pyridines substituted at 2-, 4- and 6-positions in its molecule and an organic electroluminescent element using the charge transport material rings which are substantially non-conjugated to each other (provided that the 3- and 5-positions of the pyridine ring may be optionally substituted), and an organic electroluminescent element comprising the charge transport material. |
