A process for producing methacrylic acid by the vapor phase catalytic oxidation of methacrolein with molecular oxygen or a molecular oxygen-containing gas comprises using a catalyst of multi-elemental complex oxide having the formula MoaPbAscCudCreXfOg wherein X represents at least one of element of Ce, Nd, W and Fe; a, b, c, d, e, f and g respectively represent atomic ratios and a=12, b=0.5 to 3.0, c=0.01 to 1.2, d=0.01 to 2.0, e=0.05 to 2.0 and f=0 to 1.0; and g is decided on the valences of the other components such as usually 37 to 58 which is prepared with or without a reduction using a dibasic carboxylic acid, an oxycarboxylic acid, mannitol or pyrogallol.
