According to the present invention, provided is a cationically electrodepositable coating material comprising a resin for a cationically electrodepositable coating material, a hydrotalcite-like solid solution having a specific composition and, if necessary, a basic bismuth compound and/or an organic acid salt thereof. Such cationically electrodepositable coating material forms a coating film which is excellent in performances such as an edge corrosion-preventive property, a throwing power, a chemical resistance and a smoothness without adding harmful substances such as lead compounds and chromium compound.
