PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber connecting component for easily arranging an end face of an optical fiber with good reproducibility in a predetermined position of one end face of a ferrule, and to provide an optical module using the component. SOLUTION: A guide hole 4 for guiding an optical fiber is composed of: an optical fiber insertion hole 6 which is formed in one end of a ferrule 3 and which allows the optical fiber to be inserted into the ferrule 3; a light incident/exiting hole 5 which is formed on the other end of the ferrule 3, has a bore smaller than the optical fiber insertion hole 6, and receives and emits light on the end face 2 of the other end of the ferrule 3; and a shape changing hole 7 which is arranged between the optical fiber insertion hole 6 and the light incident/exiting hole 5, which changes the shape so that the bore gradually becomes smaller toward the light incident/exiting hole 5 and which connects the optical fiber insertion hole 6 and the light incident/exiting hole 5 each other. The shape changing hole 7 changes the shape so that the center axis of the light incident/exiting hole 5 may be shifted in the direction of restricting the optical fiber relative to the center axis of the optical fiber insertion hole 6.
