The present invention provides a hard coat film and a hard coat layer forming composition which forms a hard coat layer adhering well to a substrate, which does not curl up easily and having antifouling properties, excellent abrasion resistance, surface hardness, and a high level of visibility. The present invention has a specific feature in that a hard coat layer forming composition which includes polyfunctional acrylic (or methacrylic) monomer (A), acrylic monomer having a hydroxyl group (B), radical photopolymerization initiator (C), and fluorocompound having a polymerizable group (D) is used. The hard coat film of the present invention has the hard coat layer which is formed by curing the hard coat layer forming composition on a transparent substrate and has a surface free energy less than 20 mN/m and the thickness in the range of 5-25 μm.
