A metal plate for use in manufacture of a deposition mask according to an embodiment is a multilayer metal plate having a thickness of 30 μm or less and containing an alloy of nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe), and comprises: a first outer portion occupying an area corresponding to 20% or less of the total thickness of the metal plate from one surface thereof; a second outer portion occupying an area corresponding to 20% or less of the total thickness from the other surface opposite to the one surface; and a central portion except the first outer portion and the second outer portion, wherein the first outer portion and the second outer portion each have a larger nickel content than that of the central portion. The multilayer metal plate for use in manufacture of a deposition mask according to an embodiment is a multilayer metal plate containing an alloy of nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe), and is manufactured by a method comprising the steps of: forming a nickel-plated layer; forming an iron-plated layer on the nickel-plated layer; forming a multilayer-plated plate in which the nickel-plated layer and the iron-plated layer are alternately and repeatedly arranged; and heat-treating the multilayer-plated plate at a temperature of 300° C. or higher.
