PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a dihydroxy aromatic compound at a satisfactorily high yield in a short time from an oxidation reaction product formed by oxidizing a diisopropyl aromatic compound. SOLUTION: A method for producing a dihydroxy aromatic compound (such as resorcinol) comprising a process of producing the same in a reaction liquid containing an aromatic dihydroperoxide compound such as 1,3-diisopropylbenzene dihydroperoxide, a copper compound, hydrogen peroxide, an acid catalyst and a solvent, wherein the copper concentration based on the total mole number of Ar (Ar being a phenyl, for example) belonging to the above aromatic compound is 20 to 500 mol ppm from the above aromatic compound is disclosed.
