PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for manufacturing a plastic optical fiber, by which thermal contraction is suppressed without degrading mechanical strength and productivity is improved. SOLUTION: The POF (Plastic Optical Fiber) manufacturing apparatus includes a heat processing means 10 that performs heat processing on a plurality of stretched POFs 11, wherein the POF apparatus is characterized in that the heat processing means 10 has a holding member 12 for arraying the POF 11 without being overlapped. The method for manufacturing the POF includes a heat processing step in which the plurality of stretched POFs 11 are heat-processed by the heat processing means 10. The method is characterized in that the POFs 11 are arrayed without being overlapped by means of the holding member 12 in contact with the POFs 11 and that the POFs 11 are continuously heat-processed.
