To provide a method for recovering an anionic fluorinated emulsifier, capable of easily and efficiently recovering an anionic fluorinated emulsifier adsorbed on a basic ion exchange resin.A basic ion exchange resin is brought into contact with a mixture of an aqueous inorganic acid solution and a non-aqueous fluorinated medium, or the basic ion exchange resin is brought into contact with an aqueous inorganic acid solution and then brought into contact with a non-aqueous fluorinated medium, then a phase of the non-aqueous fluorinated medium is recovered, and an acid of the anionic fluorinated emulsifier is recovered from the phase of the non-aqueous fluorinated medium.
