A measurement method for measuring a position of an aperture stop in an optical system includes the steps of measuring a light intensity distribution of light that passes the aperture stop, at a position that is optically conjugate with a pupil position in the optical system, and determining a position of the aperture stop in the optical system based on a diffraction fringe of the light intensity distribution measured by the measuring step.
