PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical module which is significantly reduced in size and manufactured at a low cost, and in which optical connection is easily and detachably achieved perpendicularly to a wiring board face. SOLUTION: The optical module is equipped with: an upper structure 5 including an optical transmission body 7 forming a continuous optical transmission path 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; an optical element mounting substrate 30 fixed on a wiring board 70 and electrically connected to the wiring board 70; and a fitting member 50 fixed around the optical element mounting substrate 30 on the wiring board 70, and detachably holding the upper structure 5 with downward pressing force and optically connecting the optical transmission path of the upper structure 5 to the optical element 40 of the optical element mounting substrate 30 by fitting the upper structure 5 from the upper part of the member.
