We study and characterize the optimal rates of convergence in periodic homogenization of linear elliptic equations in non-divergence form. We obtain that the optimal rate of convergence is either O(ε) or O(ε2) depending on the diffusion matrix A, source term f, and boundary data g. Moreover, we show that the set of diffusion matrices A that give optimal rate O(ε) is open and dense in the set of C2,α periodic, symmetric, and positive definite matrices, which means that generically, the optimal rate is O(ε).
