To provide a hood for an endoscope which can be easily mounted to and removed from a distal end of an insertion part and can be mounted to the distal end in a proper position.

The hood 30 for the endoscope includes: a hood part 31 that projects in a direction of the line of sight when mounted to the distal end 6 of the endoscope 2; an elastically deformable cylindrical fixed part 32 that is continuously provided behind the hood part 31 and tightens the outer peripheral surface of distal end 6 to tightly fix thereto; and at least a pair of hard low friction members 33 that are extended along a longitudinal axis direction of the fixed part 32 so that surfaces having a prescribed width on the inner peripheral surface of the fixed part 32 are opposed each other and expose.
