The present invention relates to a resin emulsion which has a good emulsification performance even when produced by using a crosslinked polyester resin having a good fusing ability and a good durability, and also is capable of producing a toner having an excellent heat-resistant storage property therefrom; and a process for producing the resin emulsion. The process for producing a resin emulsion according to the present invention, includes the steps of: (a) mixing a resin containing a polyester having a constitutional unit derived from at least one component selected from the group consisting of a trivalent or higher-valent alcohol component and a trivalent or higher-valent carboxylic acid component, an anionic surfactant, and a nonionic surfactant with each other at a temperature which is not lower than a temperature lower by 10° C. than a softening point of the resin, the nonionic surfactant being used in an amount of more than 1.0 part by weight and less than 5 parts by weight on the basis of 100 parts by weight of the resin; and (b) neutralizing the resulting mixture obtained in the step (a) with a basic compound in an aqueous medium at a temperature not higher than the softening point of the resin.
