The invention provides a coal catalytic gasification reaction material and a preparation method thereof. The coal catalytic gasification reaction material comprises pulverized coal and a coal catalytic gasification catalyst loaded on the pulverized coal, wherein the pulverized coal comprises a first part with the particle size range of less than 2 mm and a second part with the particle size range of 2 mm or more, and relative to the same mass unit of the pulverized coal, the content of the coal catalytic gasification catalyst loaded on the second-part pulverized coal is not less than the content of the coal catalytic gasification catalyst loaded on the first-part pulverized coal. The invention provides an application of the coal catalytic gasification reaction material in catalytic gasification of coal. With adopting of the coal catalytic gasification reaction material, the gasification activity of crude pulverized coal can be effectively increased, and moreover, the coal catalytic gasification catalyst loss because the catalyst is brought out by the fine pulverized coal can be reduced, and thus the efficiency of coal gasification can be overall increased.
