An optical connector configured to connect a pair of coated optical fibers, each of which includes an exposed leading end of optical fiber, and a process to connect a pair of coated optical fibers using the connector. The connector includes: a connector body including a fine hole portion for housing and mutually butting the exposed leading ends of the pair of coated optical fibers, a first receiving portion and a second receiving portion, which are disposed at both outer sides in the axial direction of the fine hole portion, for housing the individual coated optical fibers without pressing the coating, and a holding portion, which is disposed at an outer side in the axial direction of the fine hole portion and at a side of the first receiving portion against the fine hole portion, for housing one of the coated optical fibers and holding the coated optical fiber by pressing the coating.
