A process for producing propylene oxide, which comprises the following steps: oxidation step: a step of obtaining cumene hydroperoxide by oxidizing cumene; epoxidation step: a step of obtaining propylene oxide and cumyl alcohol by reacting cumene hydroperoxide obtained in the oxidation step with propylene; and converting step: a step of converting cumyl alcohol obtained in the epoxidation step into cumene in the presence of a solid catalyst and recycling said cumene to the oxidation step, wherein a concentration of methylbenzyl alcohol in a liquid containing cumene recycled to the oxidation step, is 1% by weight or less.
