The present invention relates to a method for producing an organized clay composite, wherein a step for cation exchanging an interlayer metal cation of a lamellar clay mineral to an organic onium ion by swelling the lamellar clay mineral with water or an aqueous solvent and then adding and mixing thereinto an emulsion which is obtained in advance by emulsifying a curable resin composition with use of an organic onium salt or with use of an organic onium salt and a nonionic surfactant, and a step for introducing the curable resin composition into the interlayer of the lamellar clay mineral are performed simultaneously. The present invention also relates to an organized clay composite obtained by the method. The present invention further relates to a resin molded product obtained by molding/curing such an organized clay composite. In the organized clay composite, the compound introduced into the interlayer of the lamellar clay mineral does not affect the physical properties of the matrix into which the organized clay is dispersed. Consequently, the organized clay composite has an expanded interlayer distance, while exhibiting good dispersibility.
