The invention discloses a balanced section recovering method based on delta front edge paleotopography characteristics. The method includes steps: selecting a seismic profile with typical geologic characteristics based on detailed structure interpretation, and converting selected seismic profile into a geological profile by the aid of a local time-depth relationship; dividing a delta plain sub phase, a delta front edge sub phase and a front delta sub phase on the profile by the aid of regional deposition characteristics. A delta front edge balanced section is recovered according to different deposition stages until balanced recovery of paleotopography sections of all delta front edge stratums is finished, and development evolution history profiles of final delta front edge structures are outputted, so that the method lays a foundation for analysis of subsequent depositional evolution histories and quantitative research of structure characteristics.
