Disclosed is a method for producing a membrane electrode assembly for a fuel cell, including: dispersing a catalyst and a conductive binder into a dispersion solvent to provide catalyst slurry; subjecting the catalyst slurry to stirring, sonication and homogenization; applying the catalyst slurry onto a substrate, followed by drying; transferring the substrate coated with the catalyst slurry to either surface or both surfaces of an electrolyte membrane to form a catalyst layer; dipping the substrate, the catalyst layer and the electrolyte membrane obtained after the preceding operation into liquid nitrogen; and removing the substrate to provide an electrolyte membrane having the catalyst layer formed thereon.
