The present invention relates to a method for predicting a deformation behavior of a rubber material capable of accurately analyzing a deformation behavior of a rubber material even in a micro level, and more specifically, to a method for predicting a deformation behavior of a rubber material, including: generating a three-dimensional model of the rubber material formed by adding a filler to a rubber; applying a configuration condition specifying a relationship between a stress and a strain on the basis of thickness information and temperature information obtained on the basis of a molecular dynamics approach to a rubber layer portion constituting the three-dimensional model; and, analyzing the deformation behavior of the rubber material. Further, in the method for predicting a deformation behavior of a rubber material, it is preferable that the deformation behavior of the rubber material is analyzed by applying a finite element method to the three-dimensional model to which the configuration condition is applied.
