ABSTRACT An optical fiber connector comprises an internal member and an external member. The internal member includes a block having a hole which receives a sheath portion at an end of the optical fiber cord as well as an optical fiber exposed from the sheath portion axially. Cantilevers are pro- vided on side walls of the block to extend along the side walls and have in- wardly protruding projections as well as projections protruding outward when no force is applied. The external member has an opening through which the optical fiber cord is inserted and openings or recesses which engage with the projections on the cantilever of the internal member on the side walls thereof to be fit into the block of the internal member axially and slidably. The optical fiber connector of this invention is characterized in that as the internal member is being inserted, the projections of the cantilevers are pressed by the internal wall of the external member so that the cantilevers are deflected inwardly to reach a position to securely hold the optical fiber cord therebetween. The external member is prevented from receding by the projec- tions protruding from said openings or recesses.
