A stable and high-purity protected pseudouridine in crystal form is provided represented by the following structural formula: wherein M represents a trityl group or a derivative thereof, which is a useful material for producing an RNA oligomer or a similar substance. A method for producing the crystalline protected pseudouridine is also provided, which method includes crystallizing a protected pseudouridine from a solution containing the protected pseudouridine, by use of an ester solvent and/or an alcoholic solvent. The method, which does not need a silica gel column treatment, can be performed in a simple manner, does not impose a load on the environment, and realizes low-cost production of a target crystalline protected pseudouridine.
