A photopolymerizable resin composition for transferring a microstructure, which allows a thinner and uniform thin film to be formed, a transfer accuracy of extremely smaller microfine pattern to be excellent, and a curing time of the thin film to be shortened, is provided. The photopolymerizable resin composition for transferring a microstructure comprises the following component (A), component (B), component (C), component (D) and component (E) at the rate described below: (A) a 6 to 15-functional acrylate; in 0.5 to 10 mass % (B) an acrylate with a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 1000 to 10000; in 0.5 to 10 mass % (C) an acrylate having a benzene ring; in 0.5 to 10 mass % (D) a reactive diluent; in 80 to 98 mass % (E) a photopolymerization initiator; in 0.1 to 5 mass %.
