To provide a method for producing a wide variety of carbazole derivatives which have a simple and uncomplicated process and in which variations in the yield, purity, etc. of a desired substance which are caused by an aryl group introduced is reduced as much as possible. A method for producing a carbazole derivative represented by General Formula (1) is provided, in which 9-[4-(10-phenyl-9-anthryl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole having an active site at the 3-position of the carbazole skeleton and an aromatic compound having an active site are coupled. In the formula, Ar1 represents an aryl group with 6 to 13 carbon atoms in a ring, and Ar1 may have a substituent.
