A light reception element and an electronic apparatus in which leakage current can be reduced to decrease current consumption are provided. The light reception element includes a pixel array section. The pixels each include two taps that detect an electric charge obtained through photoelectric conversion by a photoelectric conversion section. A flat region in each pixel, except the two taps and a pixel transistor region, includes a tap peripheral region and a pixel transistor neighboring region. In the tap peripheral region, an embedded oxide film is formed on a surface opposite to a light incident surface of a substrate, and a first semiconductor region is formed on the light incident surface side of the embedded oxide film. In the pixel transistor neighboring region, a second semiconductor region is formed. The present technology is applicable to a light reception element that carries out ranging, for example.
