The invention relates to a catalyst for a 1,4-diacetoxy butene hydrogenation process, and mainly solves the problems of low yield and low selectivity of the 1,4-diacetoxy butene in the prior art. Thecatalyst for the 1,4-diacetoxy butene hydrogenation process is characterized in that the catalyst is prepared from a carrier and active ingredients, wherein the carrier is active carbon; the active ingredients comprise a Pt element and cocatalyst elements; the cocatalyst elements include at least one metal element selected from IIA group metal. The technical problems are better solved; the hydrogenation catalyst can be used in industrial production of the 1,4-diacetoxy butene.
