This optical receptacle comprises the following: an optical-receptacle body that is formed via injection molding; a first optical surface; a second optical surface on a first side; a first concavity that has an angled surface whereby light that has entered via the first optical surface is reflected towards the second optical surface; a gate section on a third side; a first through-hole and a second through-hole that extend in the direction of the axis of light traveling between the second optical surface and a light-transporting body; and a second concavity located between the first concavity and the third side. The part of the second concavity closest to a second side is closer to the abovementioned first side than the part of the gate section closest to the first side is. The first through-hole also opens to a first-side surface and a second-side surface of the second concavity.
