The optical fiber connector plug protecting cap has a tubular cap member made of a resin material and configured to be fitted to a tip opening of the holding member to cover a tip portion of the ferrule in a non-contacting state, and a strap member having first and second end portions and comprised of an elastic body having a relatively greater flexibility than the cap member. The cap member has a connecting part having a locking hole for locking the first end portion of the strap member. The first end portion of the strap member has an engagement protrusion for engagement with the locking hole in a state in which the first end portion extends through the locking hole. The engagement protrusions of the strap member has a deformable portion configured to be deformed so that the engagement protrusions is locked to an edge portion of the connecting part of the cap member near the locking hole.
