An optical module includes: a light emitting element; an optical member having a first lens surface that focuses light emitted from the light emitting element, a reflection surface that reflects a part of the light and passes another part of the light focused by the first lens surface, and a refracting surface that refracts the light reflected by the reflection surface; and a photodetector element that receives the light passed through the refracting surface, wherein the first lens surface and the refracting surface are defined by a coaxial surface of revolution, the first lens surface has a protruded section at a center section thereof, and the refracting surface is formed in a region that surrounds the first lens surface in a plan view.
