To provide a carrier for two-component electrophotographic developer not only having excellent fluidity but also having proper surface irregularities necessary for imparting electric charge, without generating cracks/chipping of particles even under an influence of stirring stress over a long period of time. A particle surface has raised parts of striped pattern extending almost continuously in a plurality of directions while being superposed on one another, with a surface formed with raised parts of striped pattern occupying 80% or more of the whole surface of a particle. Depths of grooves between the adjacent raised parts are 0.05µm or more and 0.2µm or less, average surface roughness Ra is 0.1µm or more and 0.3µm or less, roundness is 0.90 or more, and average particle size is 15µm or more and 100µm or less, and a carrier core material thus constituted is coated with resin. Thus, the carrier for two-component electrophotographic developer is preprared.
