PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a relay optical connector capable of preventing damage to an optical coupling edges while suppressing optical loss. SOLUTION: In the relay optical connector 1, a part 16 of a ferrule 4 is butted against a part 17 of a ferrule 5 in a ferrule edge 14 of the ferrule 4 in which an optical fiber 2 for an optical connection is exposed and a ferrule edge 15 of the ferrule 5 in which an optical fiber 3 is exposed and the one optical fiber 2 and the other optical fiber 3 are arranged so as not to come into contact with each other. Specifically, one of the ferrule edges 14 and 15 is surface-ground so as to extend along a surface at right angles to an optical axis L and the other thereof is diagonally surface-ground so as to be inclined at a prescribed angleθrelative to the surface at right angles to the optical axis.
