Zusammenfassung:Provided are a liquid crystal diffraction element having a small angle dependence of diffraction efficiency and excellent heat resistance, and a liquid crystal diffraction element, an optical element, an image display unit, a head-mounted display, a beam steering, and a sensor that include the liquid crystal diffraction element. A liquid crystal diffraction element according to the present invention includes an optically-anisotropic layer that is formed of a liquid crystal composition including a polymerizable liquid crystal compound, in which the polymerizable liquid crystal compound includes at least one monofunctional polymerizable liquid crystal compound having one polymerizable group, the optically-anisotropic layer has a liquid crystal alignment pattern in which an orientation of an optical axis derived from the monofunctional polymerizable liquid crystal compound changes while continuously rotating in at least one in-plane direction, and in an infrared absorbance spectrum where a measurement sample obtained by powdering the optically-anisotropic layer is measured by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, an area ratio of a specific peak satisfies a predetermined relational expression.
