An optical matrix switch includes connection optical waveguides, a 2×2 optical switch including two straight optical waveguides which are parallel to each other, two crossing optical waveguides which connects the insides of the straight optical waveguides and mutually intersects in an X shape, and electrodes which are disposed on portions where the straight optical waveguide and the crossing optical waveguide are connected. The connection optical waveguides include a straight connection optical waveguide which connects one of the straight optical waveguides of one of the 2×2 optical switches in one column and a straight optical waveguide of a 2×2 optical switch in the same row of an adjacent column, and a crossing connection optical waveguide which connects the other of the straight optical waveguides with a straight optical waveguide of 2×2 optical switch in the other row of an adjacent column
