The invention discloses a copper fluoride based hydrotalcite-like catalyst, a method for preparing the same and application of the copper fluoride based hydrotalcite-like catalyst. The copper fluoride based hydrotalcite-like catalyst comprises Cu, ZnO, Al2O3 and fluoride. A molar ratio of Cu elements to Zn elements is 2, a ratio of a total molar number of the Cu elements and the Zn elements to a molar number of Al elements is 0.5-4, and a molar ratio of F elements to the Al elements is 0.29-2.57. The copper fluoride based hydrotalcite-like catalyst, the method and the application have the advantages that the copper fluoride based hydrotalcite-like catalyst is high in metal element dispersion degree and strongly alkaline site quantity and favorable for dissociating and adsorbing H2 and stably adsorbing CO2, and is stable in performance during CO2 hydrogenation reaction operation, and the methanol selectivity can be obviously enhanced while a high CO2 conversion rate is guaranteed; the method is simple and is easy to implement, and industrial up-scale can be facilitated.
