A new process for producing a catalyst which has a high mechanical strength and which is capable of producing an unsaturated carboxylic acid constantly over a long period of time and in good yield, is presented. A process for producing a catalyst for the production of an unsaturated carboxylic acid, which is a process for producing a catalyst containing at least molybdenum and vanadium, to be used at the time of gas phase catalytic oxidation of an unsaturated aldehyde with a molecular oxygen-containing gas to produce the unsaturated carboxylic acid, characterized in that a mixed solution or aqueous slurry containing the above catalyst components, is dried, the moisture content of the obtained dried product is adjusted to be from 0.5 to 4 wt %, and the powder thus adjusted is subjected to tabletting to obtain a molded product.
