A multi-core-fiber optical connector includes a first ferrule and a second ferrule. The first ferrule has a first step defining a first upper surface and a first lower surface. The first upper surface has a plurality of first receiving grooves for receiving the vicinities of leading end portions of optical fibers and engaging portions formed on opposite sides of the first upper surface. The second ferrule has a second step being abuttable against the first step, and defining a second lower surface opposite to the first upper surface and a second upper surface opposite to the first lower surface. The second lower surface has a plurality of second receiving grooves receiving the leading end portions of the optical fibers. The second upper surface has engaged portions engageable with said engaging portions, and is formed with a recess receiving a band-like elastic cushioning member therein. The first and second ferrules are detachably joined with each other in conjunction with the engagement of the engaging portions and the engaged portions.
