A communication light detection device includes a housing provided with plural first optical adapters and plural second optical adapters, and plural light detection portions provided in connection portions respectively for optically connecting together a first optical fiber provided in the housing and extended from the first optical adapters into the housing and a second optical fiber extended from the corresponding second optical adapters into the housing, to detect light transmitted via both the optical fibers. The light detection portions each include a light leak portion provided in the connection portions to allow light to partially leak, a light receiving element to detect the light leaked at the light leak portion, and a case including a recessed groove for accommodating the connection portions and not transmitting light. A circuit board is included with the light receiving elements mounted thereon together, and is provided to close openings of the recessed grooves together.
