A liquid crystalline compound shown by the following formula (I).
wherein R1 to R13 represent a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a methyl group, a trifluoromethoxy group, or a cyano group, X represents —O—, —O—CO—, or the like, n is 0 or 1, and R14 represents -A-CO—CH═CH2, wherein A is a linking group. The liquid crystalline compound has a higher liquid crystal phase upper limit temperature, is chemically stable, can be inexpensively produced, and exhibits a large selective reflection wavelength zone Δλ (a large Δn). A liquid crystalline composition comprising the liquid crystalline compounds, an optical film having a liquid crystal layer formed using the liquid crystalline composition, and an optical laminate comprising a substrate, an alignment film formed on the substrate, a liquid crystal layer formed using the liquid crystalline composition on the alignment film are also disclosed.
