The present invention provides a difluoroboron dipyrromethene fluorescent probe having a structure represented by the following general formula I, and a production method and an application thereof. Said difluoroboron dipyrromethene fluorescent probe exhibits low background fluorescence, and a rapid and significant fluorescence enhancement up to 100 times after the addition of hypochloric acid. The fluorescent intensity of said fluorescent probe shows a good linear relation with the concentration of hypochloric acid in a nanomole level, and the detection limit thereof is 0.56 nanomole. Said fluorescent probe has good selectivity since it hardly responds to other reactive oxygen species such as H2O2, O2−, TBHP, HO., TBO., 1O2 and NO., and is not interfered by pH in a wide range. Said fluorescent probe can be applied to detect hypochloric acid in living cells.
