An optical receiving apparatus includes a variable dispersion compensation unit, a delay interference unit, a photoelectric converter, a polarization control unit for control the polarization state of an optical signal inputted to the photoelectric converter, a received data processing unit for monitoring the number of error occurrences, and a control unit for controlling the dispersion compensation amount at the variable dispersion compensation unit and the optical phase control amount at the delay interference unit, based on information on the number of error occurrences from the received data processing unit. The control unit adjusts the polarization state of the optical signal inputted to the photoelectric converter to a first polarization state, in which errors are more likely to occur than in normal operation, by controlling the polarization control unit and then starts control of the variable dispersion compensation unit and the delay interference unit, and upon completion of the control, adjusts the polarization state of the optical signal to a second polarization state, in which errors are less likely to occur than in the first polarization state, by controlling the polarization control unit.
