An optical connection component 1 includes an optical fiber 10 having a bent portion BA, and a fiber fixing part 20. The optical fiber 10 includes a glass fiber 11 and a resin coating 12. The fiber fixing part 20 includes an optical array member 24 and a protective resin 23. A distal end of the glass fiber 11 and an end surface of the optical array member 24 form a reference surface S. The bent portion BA is formed in a region including the exposed glass fiber 11. A predetermined section in a region C, which continues from the bent portion BA on a side opposite to an end portion of the optical fiber 10 supported by the fiber fixing part 20 with the bent portion BA interposed therebetween, is inclined to approach the reference surface S while going away from the bent portion BA.
