To provide a connector cover and a wire harness that, even if two members are fitted to each other and attached to a portion of a connector and are urged in a direction to separate them from each other, can prevent liquid from directly entering a connector storage space from the gap between mating surfaces of the two members.SOLUTION: A connector cover 34 comprises: a first cover part 341 that covers at least part of a connector; a second cover part 342 that is fitted to the first cover part 341 and covers at least part of the connector; and a connection part that connects the first cover part 341 and the second cover part 342 to each other and urges the cover parts in a direction to separate them from each other. At least one of the first cover part 341 and the second cover part 342 has a liquid entry prevention part 34b that prevents liquid from directly entering a connector storage space 349 from the gap between mating surfaces 341a, 342a of the first cover part 341 and the second cover part 342.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】２つの部材が互いに嵌まり合いコネクタの部分に取り付けられた状態において互いに離れる方向に付勢されていても、液体が２つの部材の合わせ面の隙間からコネクタ収容空間に直接的に浸入することを抑えることができるコネクタカバーおよびワイヤハーネスを提供すること。【解決手段】コネクタカバー３４は、コネクタの少なくとも一部を覆う第１カバー部３４１と、第１カバー部３４１と嵌まり合いコネクタの少なくとも一部を覆う第２カバー部３４２と、第１カバー部３４１と第２カバー部３４２とを接続し互いに離れる方向に付勢する接続部と、を備える。第１カバー部３４１および第２カバー部３４２の少なくともいずれかは、液体が第１カバー部３４１と第２カバー部３４２との合わせ面３４１ａ、３４２ａの隙間からコネクタ収容空間３４９に直接的に浸入することを抑える液体浸入抑制部３４ｂを有する。【選択図】図５
