A distributed database transaction processing method and device based on a GPS atomic clock, the method includes: receiving a plurality of transaction requests by the first node server; determining a concurrency conflict between transaction requests received by the first node server; obtaining start time of each transaction in a case that the concurrency conflict exists, wherein the start time is local time of the second node server when the transaction request is sent; and local time of the second node server is synchronized with time of the GPS atomic clock server in an area which the second node server locates; processing all transactions by the first node server according to the sequence of the start time of each transaction. Throughput of distributed database system can be increased and an arrangement complexity of servers is reduced.
