To provide silicon carbide-containing monolithic refractory having excellent corrosion resistance and spalling resistance and free from occurrence of crack or peeling for a long period of time by improving oxidation resistance of a silicon carbide raw material contained in the monolithic refractory.

The silicon carbide-containing monolithic refractory contains the silicon carbide raw material in which the content of metal iron is <0.5 mass% to 100 mass% total silicon carbide raw material.
