The present invention relates to the providing of a stool sample processing method and stool sample processing container that enable nucleic acids to be recovered with high accuracy, and in a stool sample processing container (1) provided with a stool collection tool (100), a suspending solution holding portion (110) and a processing solution holding portion (120), wherein stool sample preparation solutions consisting of a suspending solution (S) and a stool sample processing solution (P) are respectively housed in a suspending solution holding container (111) and a processing solution holding container (121), after first mixing a stool sample (E) with the suspending solution (S) and suspending therein, a sealant (131) is released into the suspending solution holding container (111) by pressing on the lower portion of the processing solution holding container (112), and the resulting stool suspension mixes with the stool sample processing solution (P). Stabilizing processing of nucleic acids following stool sample suspension in this manner enables non-decomposed nucleic acids to be recovered with high accuracy.
