An optical fiber ribbon includes optical fibers arranged in parallel in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the optical fibers, and a collective coating layer covering an outer periphery of each of the plurality of optical fibers. The collective coating layer includes a connected portion at which the optical fibers adjacent to each other are connected. An outer diameter of each of the plurality of optical fibers is 215 μm or less. In a cross-sectional view of each of the optical fibers, the collective coating layer includes a thick portion and at least two thin portions. A difference between the thickness of the collective coating layer in the thick portion and the thickness of the collective coating layer in the thin portion is 5 μm or more and 19 μm or less.
