An optical module includes: an optical element including a light emitting section which emits a light signal and two external terminals on a light emitting surface； an optical fiber configured to transmit the light signal； a ferrule having an insertion hole into which the optical fiber is inserted； and a wiring board where two connection electrodes provided to a first main surface are respectively bonded to the two external terminals via bumps, and the ferrule is provided to a second main surface, wherein the light emitting surface of the light emitting element is inclined with respect to the first main surface at a predetermined inclination angle based on heights of the bumps.
