Provided are a surface-coated polymer actuator and a method of preparing the same. The polymer actuator includes an ionic conductive polymer membrane, metal electrodes formed on both surfaces of the ionic conductive polymer membrane, and coating layers formed on both the surfaces of the metal electrodes. By coating the surfaces of the metal electrodes of the polymer actuator, the leakage of solvent from the electrode surfaces due to an inner pressure, which is caused by the solvent's flow due to an electrical stimulus when the actuator is operated, can be prevented and thus the displacement and drivability of the polymer actuator can be improved.
