Abstract: Provided is a method for producing an MTW-type zeolite. The reaction mixture contains a silica source, an alumina source, an alkali source, and water is reacted with a seed crystal of a zeolite to produce an MTW-type zeolite. The reaction mixture has a composition, which makes a synthesized zeolite contain an MFI-type zeolite when the zeolite is synthesized solely from the reaction mixture, is used. As the seed crystal, a beta-type zeolite which has a ratio of SiO2/Al2O3 of 8 to 50 and does not contain a structure direction agent is used. The seed crystal is added to the reaction mixture, in a proportion of 0.1% by mass to 20% by mass based on a silica component in the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture to which the seed crystal has been added is heated at 100° C. to 200° C. in a sealed state.
