An optical element module includes a housing which houses an optical element, in which the optical element is optically coupled to an optical fiber introduced into the housing, the optical fiber is held by a fiber fixing part provided at the housing, the fiber fixing part includes, along a longitudinal direction thereof, a first tubular portion, a second tubular portion which is connected to a through-hole provided in the side wall of the housing and has an inner diameter substantially equal to an inner diameter of the through-hole and smaller than an inner diameter of the first tubular portion, and a tapered portion which continuously connects the first tubular portion and the second tubular portion, and the other end of a slit of the fiber fixing part reaches the tapered portion or the second tubular portion.
