The present invention relates to a solid-state imaging element which is able to provide the solid-state imaging element having a polarizing element having a simple configuration and structure based on a wire grid polarizer technique, a solid-state imaging device, an imaging apparatus, and a method of manufacturing a polarizing element. The solid-state imaging device includes a plurality of solid-state imaging elements 41 each including a photoelectric conversion element 61 and a polarizing element 70 formed on the light incident side of the photoelectric conversion element 61 . The solid-state imaging device includes two or more kinds of polarizing elements 70 having different polarization orientations. Each polarizing element has a stacked structure in which a stripe-shaped reflecting layer 71 , an insulating layer 72 formed on the reflecting layer 71 , and a light absorption layer 73 made up of a plurality of segments 73 ′ formed on the insulating layer 72 in a separated state are stacked in that order from the photoelectric conversion element side. |
