The present invention provides an optical information recording medium including a substrate having a groove that has a track pitch of 200 to 400 nm and a depth of 20 to 150 nm, the substrate having successively disposed thereon a light-reflective layer, a recording layer on which information is recordable by a laser beam having a wavelength of 450 nm or less, an adhesive layer containing an adhesive, and a cover layer having a thickness of 0.01 to 0.5 mm, wherein a surface of the light-reflective layer at a side thereof at which the recording layer is disposed has a ten-point average roughness Rz of 70 nm or less, a central surface average roughness SRa of 30 nm or less, and an average projection diameter Dv, at a height of 15 nm from a reference plane, of 75 nm or less.
