The invention relates to a method for producing propylene, mainly solving the problems catalysts in the previous propylene production process cannot keep high reaction space velocity, high hydrocarbon conversion rate, high propylene selectivity and long catalyst regeneration cycle at the same time. The method in this invention utilizes C4 or higher olefins as the raw materials, and contacts olefin raw materials and MFI zeolite catalyst with a SiO2/Al2O3 mol ratio of 240-350 to produce propylene-containing effluent. The yield of propylene is 30-50 wt.% of olefin raw materials. The method better solves the above problems and can be used in industrial production of propylene from C4 or higher olefins.
