A shock absorber includes a hard-side damping element that gives resistance to a flow of liquid from an extension side chamber toward a compression side chamber, an electromagnetic valve capable of changing an opening area of an extension side bypass passage that bypasses the hard-side damping element and communicates the extension side chamber and the compression side chamber, and a soft-side damping element provided in the extension side bypass passage in series with the electromagnetic valve, in which the hard-side damping element includes an orifice and a leaf valve provided in parallel with the orifice, and in which the soft-side damping element includes an orifice having an opening area larger than an opening area of the orifice.
