An optical connector in which the operation for inserting an optical fiber cord can be effected easily, and the optical fiber cord can be positively prevented from being abruptly bent. A bending guide portion of an arcuate shape is formed integrally with a housing body portion for receiving and holding an end portion of an optical fiber cord. The bending guide portion has a generally tubular shape, and its inner peripheral portion forms an inner peripheral bending limitation portion for limiting a minimum value of a bend radius of the optical fiber cord, while its outer peripheral side is open over an entire length thereof in a peripheral direction thereof. In place of the outer peripheral side, one side and the other side of the bending guide portion may be open over an entire length thereof in a peripheral direction thereof.
