Disclosed is a method for producing a BaLiF3 single crystal by a melt growth method, wherein a raw material melt for said single crystal comprising BaF2, LiF and MgF2 in such amounts that the Ba/(Ba+Li+Mg) ratio by mol is in the range of 0.35 to 0.48 and the Mg/(Li+Mg) ratio by mol is in the range of 0.001 to 0.03. In the case where a BaLiF3 single crystal that is useful as a last lens of immersion exposure tools for producing a semiconductor is produced by a melt growth method using, as a raw material, a melt containing excess Li, the Li component is liable to be precipitated to make the resulting BaLiF3 single crystal opaque, and the light transmittance is deteriorated, but such problems can be solved by the present invention.
