An image pickup lens includes: an aperture stop; a first lens having a positive power and including a convex surface facing an object side; a second lens having a negative power and including a concave surface facing an image side; a third lens in a meniscus shape having a positive power and including a convex surface facing the image side; and a fourth lens in a meniscus shape having a negative power and including a convex surface facing the object side. The image pickup lens satisfies predetermined conditions relating to a composite focal length of the first through third lenses, a length of an air space between the third lens and the fourth lens along the optical axis, and a curvature radius of a surface of the second lens facing the image side.
