An optical film comprising a transparent support and an optically-anisotropic layer formed of a composition comprising at least one liquid-crystal compound, wherein the transparent support comprises at least one selected from cycloolefin-base homopolymers and copolymers, and the optically-anisotropic layer satisfies the following relation (1): Re(450)/Re(650)<1.25, is disclosed. An optical compensation film comprising a transparent support, and an optically-anisotropic layer formed of a composition comprising a liquid-crystal compound, wherein the transparent support comprises a polymer having at least either of lactone ring unit or glutaric anhydride unit, is also disclosed.
