Disclosed an optical connector plug to be fitted into a LC type adapter having a wide width opening and a narrow width opening. The optical connector plug includes a square cylindrical front housing; a plug frame for retaining a ferrule and slidable in the front housing, a locking housing connected to the plug frame and fitted in and locked with the LC type adapter. The guide portion on an upper part of the front housing has side wall surfaces coming in sliding contact with the opening having a narrow width at the upper part of the adapter and locking projections on the sidewall surfaces. The locking projections abut against an edge portion of an opening of the adapter when the locking housing is fitted into the adapter, so that the front housing is moved rearward, and a distal end portion of the ferrule projects outward from the opening.
