Abstract
An optical connector includes: an optical fiber; a ferrule that has a fiber hole through which the optical fiber is inserted and a connecting end face to which the fiber hole opens; a housing that holds the ferrule; a coupling configured to be mounted onto and surround the housing; and a biasing member that biases the coupling in a direction of the connecting end face. The biasing member is configured to rotate about an axis extending in a direction that differs from a longitudinal direction of the fiber hole in a state in which the coupling is unmounted.
