Provided is a method of manufacturing a porous glass deposition body for optical fiber comprising depositing silica powder on a starting member being raised and rotated by using burners with different deposition positions. With a glass raw material flow rate supplied to a core deposition burner represented by F1 and a total flow rate of glass raw material supplied to a cladding deposition burner adjacent to the core deposition burner represented by F2, during an initial deposition stage occurring before gas conditions reach a stable state, glass raw material is supplied to points at the same longitudinal position of the deposition body such that a glass raw material flow rate ratio F2/F1 is no less than 0.69 and no greater than 1.03. |
