In a light flux controlling member (140), light emitted from a light-emitting element enters from an incidence region (141), and is emitted from an emitting region (142). The light-incidence region (141) includes a plurality of protrusions. The protrusions have ridgelines that are connected between two of four virtual lines that are adjacent to each other, the virtual lines joining an intersecting point and a vertex point of diagonal lines of a first virtual quadrangle. Valleys are formed between the plurality of protrusions. The planar shape of the ridge lines is an arc, and the radius of curvature of the ridge lines is greater than the distance from the intersection point of the diagonal lines of the first virtual quadrangle to the midpoint of the ridge lines.
A light flux controlling member that controls a distribution of light emitted from a light emitting element, the light flux controlling member comprising:
