A scanning-endoscope image evaluation system includes: a scanning endoscope provided with a light detector and a fiber scanner that includes an optical fiber for guiding illumination light coming from a light source and emitting it from its distal end and an actuator that scans the emitted illumination light by vibrating the distal end of the optical fiber； and a chart for evaluating a characteristic of an image acquired by the scanning endoscope, wherein the distal end of the optical fiber and the light detector are disposed so as to face each other with the chart sandwiched therebetween, and forward scattered light that has been emitted from the optical fiber and that has passed through the chart is detected by the light detector.
