To obtain (meth)allyl alcohol hardly causing corrosion of a reacting apparatus when being used in a chemical reaction under heating.

This method for producing the (meth)allyl alcohol having ≤30 ppm content of a chlorine atom is characterized in that the (meth)allyl alcohol obtained by the reaction of substituting the chloride in (meth)allyl chloride with a hydroxy group is distilled after having been brought into contact with an alkali compound.
