The invention relates to the technical field of coal seam production, and particularly discloses a multifunctional support for production of a thin coal seam. The multifunctional support comprises a top beam, a base, a shield beam and a connecting rod. The front end of the shield beam is hinged to the rear end of the top beam. The shield beam is hinged to the base through the connecting rod. A plurality of electromagnets are oppositely arranged on the top beam and the base. Branch supports are installed on the two sides of the top beam. Each branch support comprises a supporting plate, a connecting plate and a triangular support, wherein a branch groove with a semicircular cross section is formed in the top end of the supporting plate, the connecting plate is fixedly connected with the bottom end of the supporting plate and horizontally placed, and the triangular support is connected with the bottom face of the connecting plate. The top beam, the base, the shield beam and the branch supports are each connected with a reinforcing plate. The lower end of each reinforcing plate is connected to the upper surface of the base. The multifunctional support has the advantages that strengthis high, breakage caused by load bearing is prevented, the structure is simple, the remote control over the production of the thin coal seam is realized, and the development of the mechanical degree of the production of the thin coal seam is facilitated.
