The present invention provides: a production process for a hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate, which can raise productivity together with avoiding danger of explosion, and further can suppress side-formation of impurities such as a diester or a monoester wherein the impurities have a bad influence on product quality. When the time from the start of adding an alkylene oxide (AO) till the end of supplying the entirety of the AO is defined as T (hour), the amount of more than 50% of the entirety of the AO is supplied before T/2 (hour) has passed since the start of adding the AO. In addition, when the total amount of an AO as supplied and the time from the start of adding the AO till the end of supplying the entirety of the AO are defined as W (mol) and T (hour) respectively, the supply of the AO is started at a supplying speed V0 (mol/hour) that is faster than the average supplying speed V (=W/T) (mol/hour), and thereafter the supplying speed of the AO is decreased at least once, and then the supply of the entirety of the AO is completed for T (hour) from the start of adding the AO.
