A connector includes a housing (10) having a flange (31) provided on an outer periphery and a lock arm (17) having an unlocking portion (23) and provided near the flange (31), and a grommet (70) in the form of a resilient tube and to be externally fit on the flange (31). The grommet (70) includes a cover (73) for covering the unlocking portion (23). The lock arm (17) is deflected and deformed in an unlocking direction by the unlocking portion (23) being pressed via the cover (73). The cover (73) includes an operating recess (79) shaped to bulge toward the unlocking portion (23) and be concave when viewed from a pressing operation side. The unlocking portion (23) includes an inclined surface (22) for converting a pressing force applied in a depth direction of the operating recess (79) into a force in the unlocking direction during an unlocking operation.
