PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for industrially advantageously producing an aliphatic nitrile in high reactivity and a method for producing an aliphatic amine using the aliphatic nitrile as a raw material. SOLUTION: The method for producing an aliphatic nitrile comprises reacting at least one kind selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid, an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and alkyl esters of these acids (containing a 1-5C alkyl group) with ammonia in the presence of a compound of at least one kind of a metal selected from the group consisting of zinc, cobalt, titanium and aluminum and a sulfonic acid. The method for producing an aliphatic amine comprises subjecting the aliphatic nitrile produced by the production method to a hydrogenation reaction in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst.
