A waterproof connector having excellent waterproofing properties is provided. This waterproof connector consists of a connector main body 1 for receiving a plurality of terminals connected to wires 10 in parallel, and an elastomer packing 4 to be inserted into a concave portion 2 formed in the connector main body 1 at the wire connecting end. The elastomer packing 4 is made up of a pair of split modules 4A and 4B. Wire receiving grooves 5A and 5B for receiving the wires are formed on the contact surface of each split module 4A and 4B. With the wires 10 being placed into the wire receiving grooves 5A and 5B, the elastomer packing 4 is inserted into the concave portion 2. Elastomer packing pressing grooves 6A and 6B are formed on the outer periphery of the elastomer packing 4, and one elastomer packing pressing groove 6A and 6B is situated between every two neighboring wire receiving grooves 5A and 5B. Pressing ribs 3 to be engaged with the elastomer packing pressing grooves 6A and 6B are formed on the inner surface of the concave portion 2.
