Systems and methods for measuring a cleave angle of an optical fiber using a cleave angle measurement system is provided herein. In an aspect, a method for measuring a cleave angle of an optical fiber may include providing a cleave angle measurement system. The cleave angle measurement system may include an optical fiber channel, an image sensor, and a light source. The method may include placing an optical fiber having a cleaved end into the optical fiber channel. The method may include determining an optical center of the image sensor. The method may include reflecting light transmitted by the light source off of the cleaved end of the optical fiber and detecting, by the image sensor, light reflected off of the cleaved end of the optical fiber. The cleave angle of the optical fiber may be determined based on the light reflected off of the cleaved end.
