A process for producing a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin molded article including: (a) projecting a sheet-holding member from a cavity face of a lower mold towards a cavity face of an upper mold, (b) placing a heated fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin sheet on the sheet-holding member, (c) closing the upper and lower molds, (d) in the step of closing the upper and lower molds, putting the sheet-holding member into the lower mold before the cavity face of the upper mold contacts with the resin sheet, (e) maintaining the upper and lower molds in a closed state, and (f) opening the upper and lower molds and removing the molded article. A fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin molded article which has a good surface appearance and, if any, whose protrusions such as ribs and bosses are sufficiently filled with thermoplastic resin and reinforcing fibers, can be produced, without using an additional thermoplastic resin sheet and without repeating the molding process.
