An ultrasound endoscope includes an insertion part including a distal end part having an ultrasound transducer array of ultrasound transducers, a cable inserted into the insertion part, and a substrate, including electrode pads, that electrically connects the ultrasound transducers and the cable, and is disposed in the distal end part. The cable has a non-coaxial cable including a first cable bundle consisting of signal wires and ground wires, and a first shield layer with which the first cable bundle is coated, and an outer coat with which a second cable bundle consisting of the non-coaxial cables is coated. Each first cable bundle is individually led out from the cable, and each signal wire of the first cable bundle is led out and electrically bonded to the corresponding electrode pad. The ultrasound endoscope further includes a fixing part that fixes relative positions of the substrate and each first cable bundle.
