Optical properties of multiferroic GdMnO₃ synthesized by sol-gel method have been investigated by measuring the infrared reflectivity and UV-visible absorption spectra. The infrared reflectivity spectrum of polycrystalline GdMnO₃ in the frequency range 30-7500 cm^{-1} at room temperature contains several phonon modes. The resonant frequency of observed infrared active phonon modes is found comparable with theoretically predicted results. Mean Born effective charges are calculated and discussed in view of the origin of ferroelectricity in GdMnO₃. Three strong absorption peaks observed in the UV-visible spectrum are attributed to the Mn (3d)-electron transitions. The optical band gap ≈1.2 eV is estimated from UV-visible absorption spectrum using Tauc's relation. GdMnO₃ seems to behave like an indirect gap semiconductor.
