An objective of the present disclosure is to provide a domain adaptation method and system for gesture recognition, which relates to the field of gesture recognition technologies. The domain adaptation method for gesture recognition includes: obtaining a to-be-recognized target domain surface electromyography signal of a user; separately inputting the to-be-recognized target domain surface electromyography signal into multiple target domain gesture recognition models, to obtain target domain gesture recognition results under multiple source-specific views, where source domains of training data used by different target domain gesture recognition models are different; and determining a gesture category of the to-be-recognized target domain surface electromyography signal according to the gesture recognition results under multiple source-specific views and a weight under each source-specific view.
