The invention discloses a distributed center selection and communication method for an unmanned aerial vehicle cluster, belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle communication, and is used for solving the problem of crash of an unmanned aerial vehicle cluster communication network caused by disconnection of a center node in an existing centralized communication network. The technical key points of the invention are as follows: the node state of the unmanned aerial vehicle is described as one of the following three: Leader, Follower and Candidate; the complex network environment is dealt with by dynamically adjusting the node state, various conditions possibly occurring in node state conversion are considered, a coping strategy is given, and when the Leader does not exist in a communication network or is disconnected, the unmanned aerial vehicle group can quickly and autonomously select a new Leader as a central node in a distributed manner, so that a new centralized communication network is es
