To allow placement of optical members by providing a long back focus, make aberrations less subject to manufacturing errors, and reduce variations in aberrations during focusing. An endoscopic objective optical system includes, in order from an object side, a front group with negative refractive power, a focusing lens, and a rear group with positive refractive power, wherein: the endoscopic objective optical system satisfies conditional expressions (1) to (4) below:4<FB/FL (1)FL/|fc|<0.1 (2)−3<F_F/FL<−0.9 (3)2.5<F_R/FL<5 (4)where FB is back focus of the entire system, FL is a focal length of the entire system, fc is a focal length of the focusing lens, |fc| is an absolute value of fc, F_F is a focal length of the front group, and F_R is a focal length of the rear group.
