PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a graphite intercalation compound in which the graphite intercalation compound can be produced efficiently by uniformly inserting an insertion compound or an ion derived from the insertion compound between the adjacent layers of graphite.SOLUTION: The method for producing the graphite intercalation compound comprises a step of bringing the insertion compound into contact with graphite in the presence of a supercritical fluid. The insertion compound or the ion derived therefrom is inserted uniformly between the adjacent layers of graphite so that the graphite intercalation compound having uniform quality can be produced easily.
