A method for producing an electrode foil includes: a first step of preparing a metal foil, the metal foil having a strip shape; a second step of disposing a masking member so as to cover part of a principal surface of the metal foil; and a third step of partially etching the principal surface of the metal foil by applying current between the metal foil and an electrode while the metal foil faces the electrode via the masking member in etching liquid after the second step. The masking member has a strip shape. In the second step, the masking member is disposed along a longitudinal direction of the metal foil so as to be separated from both side edges of the metal foil.
