A method for producing a pyrazole compound represented by formula (1): (wherein R1 represents an optionally substituted C1-12 alkyl group, an optionally substituted C3-12 cycloalkyl group, an optionally substituted C6-16 aryl group, or an optionally substituted pyridyl group, R2 and R3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C1-3 alkyl group, or a C1-3 haloalkyl group), said method including a step in which a pyrazolidine compound represented by formula (2): (wherein R1, R2, and R3 are as defined above) is reacted with a nitrite in the presence of an acid, allows a pyrazole compound to be produced industrially.
