Disclosed is a separator for fuel cells which is decreased in the amount of an expensive noble metal used as a raw material while being maintained to be conductive to the MEA. This separator has durability and corrosion resistance to very corrosive substances such as fluorine ions or hydrofluoric acid. Also disclosed is a method for producing such a separator for fuel cells. Specifically disclosed is a metal separator (15, 17) which is used in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell using a fluorine-containing polymer electrolyte membrane. This metal separator (15, 17) comprises a stainless steel base (20) processed to have a plurality of fuel gas channels (14). A pure Ti layer (21) is formed on the surface of the base (20); a Pd layer (23) is formed on a surface of the pure Ti layer (21) on the side of the fluorine-containing polymer electrolyte membrane; and a composite metal layer (22) is made of the pure Ti layer (21) and the Pd layer (23) by alloying at least a part of the Pd layer (23) joined with the surface of the pure Ti layer (21) through a heat treatment.
