An optical receptacle has a configuration wherein light of a light-emitting element is separated into a coupling light and a monitor light by a coupling lens face portion and a monitor lens face portion of a first lens face. The coupling light is reflected by a first reflective surface and then emitted towards an optical transmission body from a coupling light emission surface. The monitor light is reflected by a second reflective surface and then emitted towards a light-receiving surface from a monitor light emission surface.
