PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for growing a group III nitride crystal by which a large crystal can be grown in a liquid phase method. SOLUTION: The method for growing a group III nitride crystal aims to grow a group III nitride crystal 10 by a liquid phase method. The method includes the steps of: preparing a substrate 1 that has a flat principal plane 1m, contains a group III nitride seed crystal 1a in at least the principal plane 1m side, the seed crystal having the same chemical composition as that of the group III nitride crystal 10, and has a radius of curvature of not less than 2 m as a warpage of a (hkil)-plane 1n nearest to the principal plane 1m, wherein i=-(h+k) and each of h, k and l is an integer from -9 to 9; and bringing a solution prepared by dissolving a nitrogen-containing gas 5 in a solvent 3 containing a group III metal and an alkali metal into contact with the principal plane 1m of the substrate 1 to grow the group III nitride crystal 10 on the principal plane 1m.
