A method of producing an optical fiber preform comprising: performing production of a glass preform having a valid portion to be drawn to an optical fiber and invalid portions disposed to both ends of the valid portion by depositing a porous silica glass body on a periphery of a glass rod; and performing vitrification of the porous silica glass body by heat treating the glass preform, wherein, during the vitrification, at least a portion of the porous silica glass body in the invalid portion of at least one end is dislocated relative to the glass rod along the axial direction of the glass rod such that a stress between the glass rod and the porous silica glass body is relaxed.
