An economically advantageous process for producing a fluorinated polyvalent carbonyl compound from inexpensive materials without the need of a complicated synthesis step. The process comprises reacting a polyhydric alcohol having at least two kinds of alcohol skeletons selected among a primary alcohol, secondary alcohol, and tertiary alcohol with an acid halide to obtain a polyvalent ester compound, fluorinating it in a liquid phase to obtain a perfluorinated polyvalent ester compound, and cleaving the perfluorinated polyvalent ester compound at the ester bonds derived from primary and secondary alcohols to obtain a fluorinated polyvalent carbonyl compound.
