Provided are processes for producing a rubber composition, which enable a suitably low heat-generating rubber composition to be obtained by further improving coupling function activity of a silane coupling agent. More specifically, provided is a process for producing a rubber composition comprising a rubber component (A) comprising at least one selected from natural rubbers and synthetic diene rubbers, a filler containing an inorganic filler (B), a silane coupling agent (C), and at least two kinds of chemical agents (D) and (E) selected from guanidines, sulfenamides, thiazoles, thiurams, dithiocarbamates, thioureas, and xanthates, wherein the rubber composition is kneaded in a plurality of stages wherein, in the first stage (X) of kneading, the rubber component (A), all or a portion of the inorganic filler (B), all or a portion of the silane coupling agent (C), and at least two kinds of the chemical agents (D) and (E) are added and kneaded. Also provided is a process for producing a rubber composition, wherein the rubber composition is kneaded in a kneading step comprising three or more stages wherein, in the first stage (X) of kneading, the rubber component (A), all or a portion of the inorganic filler (B), all or a portion of the silane coupling agent (C) are kneaded; in a stage (Y) after the first stage but before the last stage of kneading, at least two kinds of the chemical agents (D) and (E) are added and kneaded; and, in the last stage (Z) of kneading, a vulcanizing agent is added and kneaded.
