An objective optical system includes in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens having a negative refractive power, an aperture stop, and a second lens having a positive refractive power. An image-side surface of the first lens is a surface which is concave toward the image side, and an image-side surface of the second lens is a surface which is convex toward the image side, and following conditional expressions (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), and (7) are satisfied:0.6<;LL1is/LsL2i<;1.25 ; ;(1)−;3<;(LL1is/RL1i)×(LsL2i/RL2i)<;−;1.25 ; ;(2)−;2<;fL22/(f×fL1)<;−;1.35 ; ;(3)2<;(nd1−;1.63)×(νd1−;31) ; ;(4)5<;(n2−;1.45)×(νd2−;31) ; ;(5)1.63<;nd1, and, 31<;νd1 ; ;(6)1.45<;nd2, and, 31<;νd2 ; ;(7).
