The present invention relates to a metal nanowire with an enhanced length and breadth ratio and a method for manufacturing the same, and more specifically, to a long metal nanowire with a small diameter and a method for manufacturing the same to obtain an improved yield. The method for manufacturing a metal nanowire includes a step of mixing at least two solvents having different reducing power; a step of adding capping agents having different molecular weights to the solvents; a step of adding a catalyst to the solvent added with the capping agents; a step of preparing a reaction solution for forming a metal nanowire by adding metal oxide to the solvent added with the catalyst; a step of adding the solvent of room temperature to the reaction solution; and a step of obtaining a metal nanowire by refining the reaction solution.
