An optical receiver includes an optical filter that transmits signal light to be received from wavelength-multiplexed signal light, a light source that outputs local oscillation light, a 90-degree hybrid circuit that causes the local oscillation light output from the light source to interfere with the signal light transmitted through the optical filter to output interference signal light, a converter that converts the interference signal light into an electrical data signal, a spectrum detector that detects a frequency spectrum of the electrical data signal based on the electrical data signal, and a controller that controls a center frequency of a passband of the optical filter based on a shape of the frequency spectrum.
