An optical communication module includes an optical semiconductor element. The element includes an optical functional region having a light receiving function or a light emitting function, a first transmission layer transmissive to light emitted from the optical functional region or light received by the optical functional region, and a wiring layer stacked on the first transmission layer and constituting a conduction path to the optical functional region. The communication module also includes a second transmission layer transmissive to the light and disposed to cover the optical semiconductor element, and a first resin member stacked on the second transmission layer. The communication module is formed with a fixing hole for fixing an optical fiber. The fixing hole includes a bottom face provided by the second transmission layer, and an opening formed in an outer surface of the first resin member.
