An optoelectronic component include a carrier body, an optoelectronic layer structure formed above the carrier body and having at least one contact region for contacting the optoelectronic layer structure, a covering body arranged above the optoelectronic layer structure, at least one contact cutout extending through the covering body and/or the carrier body. The contact cutout has a first and a second cutout regions, which lead into one another and which extend from an outer surface of the covering body and/or of the carrier body in a layer plane direction where the contact region is formed. A first clear width of the contact cutout near the corresponding outer surface in the first cutout region is greater than a second clear width in the second cutout region near the corresponding outer surface. The second clear width is less than a third clear width of the second cutout region near the contact region.
