A halide compound having one or more carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds is catalytically reduced with substantially no dehalogenation to produce a reduced halide compound in which at least one of the one or more unsaturated bonds is reduced. Specifically provided is a method for producing a reduced halide compound including steps of: reacting a nickel compound, a zinc compound, and a borohydride compound in a solvent to obtain a reduction catalyst; and subjecting a halide compound having one or more carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds to catalytic reduction in the presence of the reduction catalyst to reduce at least one of the one or more carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds to thereby obtain a reduced halide compound.
