The invention relates to a hydrogenation catalyst for synthesis of 1,4-diacetoxybutane. The problems of low yield of 1,4-diacetoxybutane and low selectivity in the prior art are mainly solved. By adoption of the technical scheme, the hydrogenation catalyst for synthesis of the 1,4-diacetoxybutane comprises a carrier and active components, the carrier is activated carbon, the active components comprise a Pt element and a cocatalyst element, and the cocatalyst element comprises at least one metal element selected from IVA group metal, so that the technical problems are solved well and the catalyst can be applied to industrial production of the 1,4-diacetoxybutane.
