PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical module in which optical axes at light incidence and light exiting are changed in an inexpensive configuration without using a lens or the like and further, and which is significantly reduced in height. SOLUTION: The optical module is equipped with: an upper structure 5 having an optical transmission body 7 which has a structure bent into an arc and in which the optical axis on an external side and the optical axis on an optical element side are perpendicular to each other, and a holding member 6 holding the optical transmission body 7; and a lower structure 25 on which an optical element 40 is mounted, and in which the upper structure 5 is positioned and placed at an upper side so as to optically connect the optical transmission body 7 of the upper structure 5 to the optical element 40. When the upper structure 5 is placed on the lower structure 25, the end face 7a of the optical transmission body 7 is placed facing the optical element 40, and thus, the optical transmission body 7 and the optical element 40 are optically connected to each other.
