This optical receptacle is provided with: an optical receptacle main body provided with a plurality of first optical surfaces and a plurality of second optical surfaces; and an optical filter. Light emitted from a photoelectric conversion element becomes incident on the first optical surfaces. The second optical surfaces allow light which becomes incident on the first optical surfaces, and passes through the inside, to exit towards an end surface of an optical transmission body. The optical filter is disposed so as to face some of the plurality of second optical surfaces, and attenuates the amount of light from the facing second optical surfaces. The optical filter is disposed with respect to at least one of the one or more second optical surfaces facing the optical filter, such that positional deviation between the first optical surfaces and the second optical surfaces is taken into consideration.
