An object of the invention is to provide an optical reflectometry and an optical reflectometer, in which accurate measurement can be performed irrespective of a measurement distance. In the optical reflectometry and optical reflectometer according to the invention, in which a distribution of backscattered light intensity from a measurement target in an optical propagation direction is measured using Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR), a coherence monitor unit 12 that monitors a coherence property of a frequency sweep light source 1 is provided, and measurement result of a measuring unit 11 is corrected based on the monitor result of the coherence monitor unit 12.
