The invention discloses a method for preparing furfuryl alcohol through furfural transfer catalytic hydrogenation. The method comprises the following steps: in the presence of a non-noble metal catalyst and an organic alcohol, controlling a reaction temperature to 100-250 DEG C, and performing a transfer catalytic hydrogenation reaction on a furfural reactant in an inert atmosphere for 1-24 hours,thereby obtaining the furfuryl alcohol, wherein the catalyst is a nitrogen-doped carbon-supported nickel-cobalt double-metal nano catalyst; the catalyst is prepared by using a hydrothermal synthesismethod; the catalyst has an expression formula of XY/NC; in the formula, NC is a nitrogen-doped carbon carrier; X is nickel; Y is cobalt. The method disclosed by the invention adopts the organic alcohol as a hydrogen source which replaces high-pressure hydrogen, so that the security coefficient is high; due to adoption of the economic and environment-friendly non-noble metal catalyst, the method is simple in preparation process, low in production cost, easy in catalyst separation, good in circulation stability and good in industrial application prospect.
