The invention relates to an electromagnetic measurement-while-drilling system and method based on an adjacent well receiving antenna. The system comprises a drill pipe emitting assembly, an adjacent well receiving assembly and a ground display terminal. The drill pipe emitting assembly is inserted into the bottom of a to-be-measured well; the adjacent well receiving assembly is arranged inside an adjacent well; the upper end of the drill pipe emitting assembly is electrically connected with the adjacent well receiving assembly, and the lower end of the drill pipe emitting assembly is in wireless connection with the adjacent well receiving assembly; and the adjacent well receiving assembly is electrically connected with the ground display terminal. The adjacent well receiving antenna is adopted for receiving signals, ground power frequency interference can be avoided, propagation loss of electromagnetic wave signals on an upper stratum of an adjacent well receiver, the measurement depth of the electromagnetic
