The present invention provides a separator for a solid polymer type fuel cell superior in low contact resistance of the fuel cell separator surface with carbon paper and flatness and a method of production of the same, that is, a separator for a solid polymer type fuel cell comprising a substrate of stainless steel or titanium or a titanium alloy having a surface layer part on which conductive compound particles are fixed, wherein said conductive compound particles are comprised of one or more types of metal borides, metal carbides, and metal nitrides with an average particle size of 0.01 to 20 mum, said conductive compound particles are present in a region from said substrate surface to a depth of 10 mum, and a distribution of concentration of the metal element forming the conductive compound in said region satisfies relations between a concentration C of the metal element forming the conductive compound and a depth x from the substrate surface shown by equation <1> (C=A.exp(-x/t)+B) and equation <2> (10<=A<=90, -4.0<=B<=1.0, 0.5<=t<=4.0).
