An optical information recording medium is provided having a superior jitter property even when an organic substance is used for a recording layer. The optical information recording medium has a substrate having a penetrating hole in a central portion thereof and a spiral pre-groove provided in one surface of the substrate, a reflection layer provided on the surface of the substrate in which the pre-groove is provided, a recording layer which is provided on the reflection layer and which is composed of an organic substance including a dye, and a light transmissive cover layer provided on the recording layer. In the optical information recording medium, the cover layer has an elastic modulus of 40 MPa or less at 25° C. in an interface region facing the recording layer.
