Provided is a cost-effective manufacturing method for an optical connector, which enables an optical waveguide to be fixed to a ferrule easily in a short period of time. A manufacturing method for an optical connector includes: fitting an end portion of a transparent optical waveguide into an optical waveguide fitting groove of an optical connection ferrule made of a resin; and fusing and fixing the end portion of the transparent optical waveguide to the optical connection ferrule by applying a laser beam having a predetermined wavelength downward from above the optical waveguide fitting groove toward the transparent optical waveguide, so that the laser beam reaches a bottom surface of the optical waveguide fitting groove.
