An object of the present invention is to provide a porous liquid absorbing-and-holding member having a high absorbing capacity for a liquid owing to capillarity and having in itself a structure capable of holding a large amount of the liquid, a process for producing this member, and a member for absorbing and holding an alcohol used as a fuel for a fuel cell. The porous liquid absorbing-and-holding member provided by the present invention is that including a porous sintered product having a skeleton formed by sintering of metal powder around voids and subjected to hydrophilicity-imparting treatment. The hydrophilicity-imparting treatment is preferably the formation of one or more substances selected from the group consisting of silicon oxides, titanium oxides, chromium oxides and aluminum oxide on the skeleton.
