The invention relates to a catalyst for preparing allyl acetate, and mainly solves the problems of low activity and selectivity of a catalyst in the prior art. The catalyst for preparing the allyl acetate comprises a carrier, an active component and a co-catalyst, wherein the active component comprises metal Pd and metal Cu, the co-catalyst is alkali metal acetate, and the carrier comprises a carrier substrate and a surface coating. The substrate is prepared from porous silicon dioxide, the coating comprises modified metal elements and silicon dioxide adhesives for adhering the modified metalelements on the surface of the substrate. The content of the modified metal elements is 0.10-1.00g/L, and the modified metal elements are selected from at least one of lanthanide series metal elementsand IIIA metal elements. The problems are effectively solved, and the catalyst can be used for industrial production of the allyl acetate.
