There is disclosed an optical fiber connector wherein, when housings (11, 13) arc connected to each other, slidable contact of pushing pieces (18) causes elastic elements (31) to be deformed to push down locking elements (32) and abutment of an opening effector (16) causes guide pins (33) to move upwardly to rotate a hood body (28) in an exposing direction, and when the housings (11, 13) are separated from each other, abutment of a closing effector (17) causes the guide pins (33) to move downwardly to rotate the hood body (28) in a covering direction, whereby an end surface of an optical fiber (14) is covered and exposed by the rotation of the hood body (28). The end surface of the optical fiber (14) is completely covered and protected while the elastic elements (31) are prevented from being subjected to plastic deformation, and the reliability of the end surface protection of the optical fiber (14) is increased. (FIG. 1).
