The present invention aims to provide electroconductive fine particles having excellent electrical conductivity with fewer pinholes in a gold coating, a method of producing the electroconductive fine particles, which are cyan-free type with a plating bath excellent in stability, and an anisotropic electroconductive material using the electroconductive fine particles. The present invention is an electroconductive fine particle, which has a gold coating formed by electroless gold plating on the surface of a nickel undercoating, the amount of nickel dissolved in a dissolution test of the electroconductive fine particle with nitric acid being 30 to 100 μ/g; a method of producing the electroconductive fine particle, wherein the method allows a reducing agent, causing oxidation reaction on the surface of a nickel undercoating but not causing oxidation reaction on the surface of gold as deposited metal, to be present on the surface of the nickel undercoating thereby reduces a gold salt to deposit gold; and an anisotropic electroconductive material, which comprises the electroconductive fine particle dispersed in a resin binder.
