An optical connector having: a ferrule into which a first optical fiber is inserted; an optical fiber connector disposed at an back end of the ferrule; and a cross-linkable refractive index matching member attached onto an end face on a back end side of the first optical fiber. The end face on the back end side of the first optical fiber and an end face of a second optical fiber to be inserted into the optical fiber connector from a back end side thereof are to be connected by a butting connection. The cross-linkable refractive index matching member is formed such that a cross-linkable refractive index matching agent is coated on the end face on the back end side of the first optical fiber, and the coated agent is cross-linked and hardened.
