The invention discloses an optical module. The optical module comprises an upper shell, a lower shell, a circuit board, a lens assembly and a clamping jaw assembly, and the lens assembly is arranged at the end, close to an optical port of the optical module, of the circuit board; the clamping jaw assembly is arranged at the optical port of the optical module, one end of the clamping jaw assembly is directly connected with the lens assembly, and the other end of the clamping jaw assembly is connected with an external optical fiber; the clamping jaw assembly comprises a clamping jaw and a shielding plate connected with the clamping jaw, a first limiting piece is arranged on the lower shell, a second limiting piece is arranged on the clamping jaw, and the first limiting piece is embedded in the second limiting piece; and a first positioning piece is arranged in the first limiting piece, a second positioning piece is arranged on the side face, provided with the second limiting piece, of the clamping jaw, and the second positioning piece is inserted into the first positioning piece. According to the optical module, the lens assembly is arranged at the end, close to the optical port of the optical module, of the circuit board, direct connection between the external optical fiber and the lens assembly is achieved through the clamping jaw assembly fixed to the shells, an optical fiberribbon is not needed, space is saved to a certain degree, and further development of the optical module is facilitated.
