The present invention relates to a method for preparing a graft copolymer and a graft copolymer. The method for preparing a graft copolymer includes the steps of: 1) preparing a seed by adding one or more selected from the group consisting of an alkyl (meth)acrylate-based monomer, an aromatic vinyl-based monomer, and a vinyl cyan-based monomer and carrying out polymerization; 2) preparing a core in the presence of the seed by adding an alkyl (meth)acrylate-based monomer and carrying out polymerization; and 3) preparing a shell in the presence of the core by adding an aromatic vinyl-based monomer and a vinyl cyan-based monomer and carrying out polymerization, wherein an activator including a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is added in the step 3), and wherein the core has an average particle diameter of 320 nm to 520 nm. According to this method, a graft copolymer that is particularly excellent in impact resistance, thermal stability, surface clarity, whiteness, appearance quality, and weather resistance can be provided.
