An object of the present invention is to provide an organic EL element that exhibits high light emission efficiency and has a long light emission lifetime, as well as an illumination device and a display device including the organic EL element. An organic electroluminescent device according to the present invention is an organic electroluminescent device having a light emitting layer sandwiched between an anode and a cathode, and a phosphorescent dopant having a molecular weight of 1,000 to 5,000 in the light emitting layer. It contains a host compound having a molecular weight of 800 or more and 3,000 or less, the phosphorescent dopant has a partial structure represented by the general formula (1), and the host compound has the general formula (6), (7) or (8 ) Or a general formula (9).
