The present invention is intended to provide a novel waterproof connector in which liquid such as water is securely prevented from adhering to the connection between a terminal fitting and an electrical conduit, and a novel method for producing the waterproof connector. The novel waterproof connector 1 comprises an electrical conduit (6), a terminal fitting (2), and a sealing member (4). The terminal fitting (2) has an electrical conduit-connecting portion (22) connected to an end portion (6a) of the electrical conduit (6). The connector housing (3) is integrally molded with both of the electrical conduit (6) and the terminal fitting (2). In this configuration, at least the electrical conduit-connecting portion (22) is embedded in the connector housing (3). The sealing member (4) comprises a synthetic polymer component having adhesion properties and elasticity. The sealing member (4) is at least partly wrapped around both the end portion (6a) of the electrical conduit (6) and the terminal fitting (2) so as to be in close contact with both the corresponding end portion (6a) of the electrical conduit (6), and the corresponding terminal fitting (2). In this configuration, wherein all of the corresponding end portion (6a) of the electrical conduit (6), the corresponding terminal fitting (2), and the sealing member (4) are embedded in the connector housing (3).
