PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a dithiol compound in a high yield, industrially inexpensively and simply without using a large scale apparatus. SOLUTION: This method for producing the dithiol compound is provided by reacting a dihalogen compound expressed by general formula (1): X-CH<SB>2</SB>-Y-CH<SB>2</SB>-X [wherein, X is a halogen atom; Y is a hetero atom and/or a hydrocarbon group without participating in the reaction, and a hetero atom or a ring structure may be contained in the hydrocarbon group], with a hydrosulfide expressed by general formula (2): MSH [wherein, M is an alkali metal atom] in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst.
