An ethylene-α-olefin copolymer containing monomer units derived from ethylene and monomer units of an α-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms and having a melt flow rate of from 0.01 to 100 g/10 min, an activation energy of flow of 50 kJ/mol or more, a molecular weight distribution measured by a gel permeation chromatography of 3 or more and minute defects of 2000/m2 or less in number, a process for producing the copolymer, and a molding of the copolymer.
