An olefin polymerization catalyst is provided which makes use of a modified methylaluminoxane and thus stably exhibits an activity equivalent to, or higher than, the activity achieved by polymethylaluminoxane. Specifically, the olefin polymerization catalyst is in the form of a modified methylaluminoxane preparation prepared from: an organoaluminum compound represented by the following general formula (I): <?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?>R<SUP>1</SUP><SUB>m</SUB>AlX<SUB>3-m</SUB> (I)<?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?> wherein R<SUP>1 </SUP>represents a straight-chained or branched hydrocarbon group selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, and aryl groups having 2 to 20 carbon atoms; X represents a hydrogen atom, halogen atom, alkoxy group, or allyloxy group; and 0<m<=3; and trimethyl aluminum, wherein the mole fraction of methyl group of the aluminoxane unit with respect to the total number of moles of the hydrocarbon group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms and methyl group present in the modified methylaluminoxane preparation is 65 mol % or greater.
