The present invention provides an optical module capable of being readily dismounted from a host board while solving the problem discussed in the specification. An optical module 10 according to the present invention is an optical module 10 to be inset into a host board 40, which comprises a projection 15 formed in a housing 14 and adapted to engage with a hook 41 provided in the host board 40, and a lever 20 pivotably mounted on the housing 14 in order to disengage the hook 41 engaging with the projection 15 to release the engagement, wherein the lever 20 has a first portion 21A adapted to move with exertion of a force in a direction toward the housing 14, and a second portion 21B being adjacent to the projection 15 and adapted to move according to the movement of the first portion 21A. In this arrangement, as the first portion 21A moves with exertion of the force on the first portion 21A, the second portion 21B moves in an upheaving direction of the projection 15 to release the engagement between the hook 41 and the projection 15.
