PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope having a configuration capable of surely connecting an imaging unit to GND even when a distal end hard member is constituted of an electrical insulation member.SOLUTION: An endoscope includes: a distal end hard member 21 constituted of an electrical insulation member, for constituting a distal end part 3 an imaging unit 20 provided inside the distal end hard member 21, for imaging a subject a treatment instrument insertion pipeline 40 provided inside the distal end hard member 21 and conducted to GND and a freely deformable conductive member 50 provided inside the distal end hard member 21 and inserted to a gap 51 formed between the outer periphery of the imaging unit 20 and the treatment instrument insertion pipeline 40 in a radial direction R of the distal end hard member 21 in a deformed state, for abutting and electrically conducting an element frame 26 in the imaging unit 20 and the treatment instrument insertion pipeline 40.
