A method of manufacturing metal foil capable of a high-efficient rolling without sacrifice in a metal foil shape; specifically, a method of manufacturing metal foil not larger than 0.2 mm in thickness by cold rolling in a plurality of passes, wherein rolling is effected by using a soft work roll during rolling ranging from a first pass to a pass preceding a kiss rolling occurrence, rolling reduction of higher than 30 % is accomplished by using a hard work roll in a pass where kiss rolling occurs and rolling reduction of not higher than 20 % is accomplished by using a soft work roll in a final pass or in a pass preceding the final pass and the final pass. When a hard work roll is to be used, a decision for kiss rolling is made anew and a target load in the relative pass is adjusted accordingly.
