Provided are an imaging module and an endoscope apparatus which can achieve a small-sized distal end of an insertion unit and obtain an image with high image quality. An imaging module 40 according to the present invention includes a first chip 44 which includes at least a light receiving unit and a reading unit, a flexible printed board 46 of which one end is connected to an electrode pad of the first chip 44, a second chip 55 which includes at least a transmission buffer mounted on the flexible printed board 46, and an image signal cable 48B and a drive signal cable 48A connected to the other end of the flexible printed board 46. The flexible printed board 46 includes regions 46a-1 to 46a-3 divided by bending the flexible printed board at bending parts 46b-1 and 46b-2. The second chip 55 and the drive signal cable 48A are connected to different regions of the flexible printed board 46.
