A material for a fuel electrode of a solid oxide fuel cell with which volume change of the fuel electrode can be reduced as compared to the conventional one even if the fuel electrode is exposed to an oxidation-reduction cycle, a fuel electrode for a solid oxide fuel cell prepared by sintering the fuel electrode material, and a solid oxide fuel cell capable of stably maintaining power generation even if a fuel electrode thereof is exposed to an oxidation-reduction cycle. The fuel electrode material includes a material powder containing at least one of nickel and nickel oxide, wherein the material powder further contains at least one of titanium oxide (IV) and a titanium source capable of changing into titanium oxide (IV) by heat treatment in air. The fuel electrode material is sintered to prepare the fuel electrode, which is provided for the solid oxide fuel cell.
