To provide an endoscope objective lens which has a lens constitution of a
relatively small number of three pieces, a short total length of lens,
and various kinds of good optical performances starting with curvature of
field. It is constituted of a first lens L.sub.1 directing its concave
surface to the image side, a second lens L.sub.2 made of a positive
meniscus lens directing its convex surface to the image side, and a third
lens L.sub.3 made of a planoconvex lens directing its convex surface to
the object side arranged sequentially from the object side, and a stop
placed between said first lens L.sub.1 and said second lens L.sub.2. It
also satisfies the following Conditional Expressions:
2.00<|f.sub.1/f|<3.00, (1) 0.50<|f.sub.2/f.sub.3|<0.70, (2)
2.00<|f.sub.1/d.sub.1-2|<5.00 , (3)
0.40<|R.sub.2R/R.sub.2F|<0.60 . (4) Note that f is the focal
length of the whole system, f.sub.1 f.sub.3 the focal lengths of the
first-third lenses, respectively, d.sub.1-2 the air distance between the
first lens and the second lens, R.sub.2F the radius of curvature of the
object-side surface of the second lens, and R.sub.2R the radius of
curvature of the image-side surface of the second lens.
