The present disclosure relates to a catalyst for direct nonoxidative conversion of methane and a method of preparing the same, and more particularly to a method of preparing a catalyst for direct nonoxidative conversion of methane, in which a catalyst optimized for the direct conversion reaction of methane can be easily prepared without precise control of the reaction conditions for direct conversion of methane, thereby simultaneously maximizing the catalytic reaction rate and minimizing coke formation, and exhibiting stable catalytic performance even after long-term operation, and to a catalyst for direct nonoxidative conversion of methane prepared using the above method.
