The invention discloses a laser welding method for a thick plate. A gap is reserved on the thick plate or a divided edge with a blunted edge is performed, a laser autogenous welding is adopted at the welding bead part for welding a pass for bottoming, then, the laser wire filling welding is carried out, a welding wire and a laser beam maintain an included angle being 15 degrees to 75 degrees, the welding wire extends into the divided edge gap from the front of the laser beam, when the filling wire welding cannot fully fill the divided edge gap, the laser-GMAW (gas metal arc welding) composite welding is finally carried out, and the welding of the thick plate is completed. The preserved gap value is respectively smaller than or equal to 0.5mm, the width of the performed welding bead used for the wire filling welding is smaller than or equal to 2.5mm, and the width of the performed welding bead used for the composite welding is smaller than or equal to 10mm. The laser welding method has the advantages that the
