Provided are a carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin composition excellent in interfacial adhesion between carbon fiber and a thermoplastic resin and excellent in dynamic characteristics, and a molding material, a prepreg, and a method for producing the same. The carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin composition includes the following components (A) and (B), carbon fiber and a thermoplastic resin; component (A): (A1) a bifunctional or higher functional epoxy compound and/or (A2) an epoxy compound which has a monofunctional or higher epoxy group and has one or more types of functional groups selected from a hydroxyl group, an amide group, an imide group, a urethane group, a urea group, a sulfonyl group and a sulfo group; and component (B): 0.1 to 25 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the component (A), of at least one reaction accelerator selected from the group consisting of [a] a specific tertiary amine compound (salt) (B1),[b] a specific quaternary ammonium salt (B2) and [c] a quaternary phosphonium salt and/or phosphine compound (B3).
