Disclosed is a method for radio link monitoring in a wireless communication system and an apparatus for the method. More specifically, a method for a user equipment (UE) to perform Radio Link Monitoring (RLM) in a wireless communication system comprises performing second RLM on a cell based on a Reference Signal (RS) other than a Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS) and determining an Radio Link Failure (RLF) with respect to the cell based on the second RLM, wherein a condition for determining an RLF applied to the second RLM is different from the condition for determining an RLF applied to CRS-based first RLM.
