This optical receptacle has first optical surfaces via which light outputted by respective light-emitting elements is inputted, a second optical surface whereby light inputted via said first optical surfaces is outputted towards an end face of a light-transporting body, a third optical surface whereby light inputted via the first optical surfaces is reflected towards the second optical surface, a plurality of first concavities formed in the surface where the second optical surface is located, and a plurality of second concavities formed in the surface where the first optical surfaces are located or a surface opposite the surface where the first concavities are located. The first concavities and the second concavities are laid out opposite each other so that the central axes thereof coincide.
