An optoelectronic component (100) comprises an optoelectronic semiconductor chip (10), a first contact area (31) and a second contact area (32), which is laterally offset with respect to the first contact area and is electrically insulated therefrom, and a housing element (40). The first contact area (31) is electrically conductively connected to the first semiconductor layer (21) and the second contact area (32) is electrically conductively connected to the second semiconductor layer (22) of the optoelectronic semiconductor chip. The first contact area (31) and the second contact area (32) project beyond the optoelectronic semiconductor chip laterally in each case. The housing element (40) is fixed to the first contact area (31) and the second contact area (32) in regions in which the first contact area (31) and the second contact area (32) project beyond the optoelectronic semiconductor chip laterally in each case. The housing element surrounds the optoelectronic semiconductor chip at least partly. A surface of the housing element that faces the optoelectronic semiconductor chip is embodied as reflective at least in partial regions. A wall of the housing element has a cutout (61).
