A zoom lens includes a plurality of lens units. The plurality of lens units consist of, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit having a negative refractive power, a middle group including one or more lens units, and a final lens unit having a negative refractive power. Each distance between adjacent lens units changes during zooming. The first lens unit includes at least three negative lenses. Predetermined conditions are satisfied.
