An optical fiber alignment tool includes a fiber aligner that includes: separators that assort optical fibers; and fiber insertion portions each disposed between a respective pair of the separators and that align the optical fibers in an alignment direction in a predetermined order when the optical fibers are inserted into the fiber insertion portion; and a fiber holding portion that includes a mount surface on which the optical fibers are mounted. The fiber aligner and the fiber holding portion are relatively movable in the alignment direction of the optical fibers.
