The polyamic acid composition contains the polyamic acid, an organic solvent, an aminophenol, and a methyl aminobenzoate. The polyamic acid includes a 4-aminophenyl-4-aminobenzoate residue as a diamine residue. The content of the 4-aminophenyl-4-aminobenzoate residue is 70 mol % or more with respect to the total amount of diamine residues included in the polyamic acid. The content of the aminophenol is 1 ppm by mass or more and 30 ppm by mass or less with respect to the total amount of the sample. The content of the methyl aminobenzoate is 0.01 ppm by mass or more and 0.10 ppm by mass or less with respect to the total amount of the sample. The contents of aminophenol and methyl aminobenzoate are obtained by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using a sample obtained by diluting the polyamic acid composition so that the concentration of the polyamic acid is 1 mass %.
