The present invention relates to an optical acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, containing: 100 parts by mass of an acrylic polymer (A) which contains a vinylic monomer having a nitrogen atom in a skeleton thereof as a monomer unit and does not substantially contain a monomer containing a carboxyl group; 1-70 parts by mass of a (meth)acrylic polymer (B) having a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 or greater and less than 30,000; and 1-50 parts by mass of a hydrogenated tackifying resin (C), and an optical acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive tape including a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing the optical acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition.
