PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a papermaking material for a natural fiber molded article, having light weight, producible at a low cost and friendly to the natural environment owing to a high content of natural fiber materials, and giving high mechanical strength. SOLUTION: The papermaking material 1 for a natural fiber molded article is obtained from a water-dispersion containing dispersed natural fibers 2, 4 having binder resin powder 6 attached to circumference of the fibers, by filtering the water-dispersion with a wire cloth and dehydrating and drying the obtained web. The content of the natural fibers 2, 4 in the molded article exceeds 50 wt.% and the binder resin powder 6 bonds the mutually entangled natural fibers 2, 4 at each contacting point in a hot compression molding performed as a post-process.
