An adaptive optical apparatus includes a wavefront correction unit configured to correct a wavefront aberration, a first scanning unit configured to be arranged to be optically almost conjugate to the wavefront correction unit, and scan light on an object in a first direction, a second scanning unit configured to be arranged to be optically almost conjugate to the wavefront correction unit, and scan light on the object in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and an optical element arranged in an optical path between the wavefront correction unit and the first scanning unit and arranged in an optical path between the first scanning unit and the second scanning unit.
