The provided by the disclosure is a SiC single crystal production method permitting suppression of temperature variation of a Si—C solution even in a case of long-time crystal growth. The SiC single crystal production method includes: a preparation step of preparing a production apparatus including a crucible, a seed shaft, and an internal lid; a formation step of heating the material in the crucible to form the Si—C solution; a growth step of bringing the seed crystal into contact with the Si—C solution to produce the Si—C single crystal on the seed crystal; an internal lid adjustment step of vertically moving one of the internal lid and the crucible relative to the other during the growth step to keep an amount of variation in vertical distance between the internal lid and the Si—C solution within a first reference range.
