Abstract: Provided is an optical module having a substrate, a photoelectric conversion element, an optical receptacle, a support member, and a ferrule. The optical receptacle optically couples the photoelectric conversion element disposed on the substrate and an end face of a light transmission body. The support member supports the optical receptacle in a state where the substrate and the optical receptacle are separated from each other. The ferrule is bonded to the support member in a state where the ferrule is separated from a surface of the optical receptacle on which the optical surface opposing the ferrule is disposed, and the ferrule is not bonded to the optical receptacle.
