In this article, a class of fractional optimal control problems (FOCPs) are solved using a direct method. We present a new operational matrix of the fractional derivative in the sense of Caputo based on the B-spline functions. Then we reduce the solution of fractional optimal control problem to a nonlinear programming (NLP) one, where some existing well-developed algorithms may be applied. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the presented technique.
