Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for compensating polarization mode dispersion. The method mainly includes: extracting an SOP (state of polarization) and a PMD (polarization mode dispersion) value of an optical signal, generating an SOP control signal according to the SOP, and adjusting the SOP of the optical signal through the SOP control signal; and generating a PMD control signal according to the PMD value, and through the PMD control signal, compensating a PMD of the optical signal whose SOP is adjusted. Through the embodiments of the present invention, a rapid change of the SOP can be adaptively tracked, a poor PMD compensation effect caused by a failure of a PMD compensation unit to track a change of the SOP is avoided, compensation performance of the PMD compensation unit is improved, and rapid PMD compensation may be achieved.
