A multi-core amplification optical fiber includes a plurality of rare-earth-doped core portions and a cladding portion positioned at an outer periphery of the core portions and having refractive index lower than those of the core portions. When a doping concentration of the rare-earth of each of the core portions is 250 ppm to 2000 ppm, a relative refractive index difference of each of the core portions relative to the cladding portion is 0.5% to 2% at a wavelength of 1550 nm, and a core diameter of each of the core portions is 1 μm to 5 μm, a separation distance between each of the core portions and adjacent one of the core portions is set at equal to or larger than 30 μm and at equal to or smaller than 60 μm so that a light-crosstalk between the adjacent core portions is equal to or lower than −30 dB.
