The present invention relates to a method for preparing 7α-methyl-19-aldehyde-4-androstene-3,17-dione by electrocatalytic oxidation. The method specifically includes: adopting an H-shaped electrolytic cell for reaction, in an anode chamber, using a metal oxide catalyst as a working electrode, using 7α-methyl-17,19-dihydroxy-4-androstene-3-one as a reaction substrate, and dissolving it in a mixed solvent to be used as an anolyte, and adding nitroxide radicals to be used as a medium; and in a cathode chamber, using a platinum sheet as a counter electrode, using a weakly alkaline solution as a catholyte, carrying out an electrocatalytic oxidation reaction in a constant temperature water bath, adding an organic solvent at the end of the reaction for extraction to obtain an organic extract liquor, and taking an organic layer and carrying out distilling under a reduced pressure to obtain 7α-methyl-19-aldehyde-4-androstene-3,17-dione.
