PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for industrially advantageously producing a tetralone. SOLUTION: The method for producing a tetralone represented by formula (2-1) or formula (2-2) (wherein R<SP>1</SP>to R<SP>4</SP>are as defined hereinbelow) comprises reacting a formic acid with a naphthalene represented by formula (1-1) or formula (1-2) (wherein R<SP>1</SP>to R<SP>4</SP>, which are the same or different from each other, are each a 1 to 6C alkyl group, a 1-6C alkoxyl group, a hydrogen atom, or a hydroxy group, provided that the case in which at least two of R<SP>1</SP>to R<SP>4</SP>are simultaneously hydroxy groups is excluded, and the other substituents in this case are limited to hydrogen atoms) in the presence of a noble metal catalyst in a solvent.
