Abstract: The present invention is a production method of a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet including annealing a belt-shaped steel sheet having a Si content of greater than or equal to 0.2% by mass, wherein the annealing is continuously carried out using an annealing furnace having an oxidation heating zone and a reduction heating zone in this order, while the steel sheet is fed using rollers. The annealing includes oxidizing a surface of the steel sheet in the oxidation heating zone at a temperature at which roll pickup does not occur and reducing an iron oxide layer, formed by the oxidizing, in the reduction heating zone before the iron oxide layer reaches an initial roller in the reduction heating zone.
