A method for producing an optical imaging contrast agent includes the following process steps: (a) reacting an albumin with a specific organic dye or a salt thereof in an aqueous solution to prepare an aqueous solution containing a combined form of the specific organic dye and the albumin; (b) adjusting the pH of the aqueous solution containing the combined form to 7.2 or less; (c) adding an ester to the aqueous solution having a pH of 7.2 or less and stirring the mixture, thereby preparing a liquid in which an aqueous solution phase and an organic solvent phase containing the ester are separated from each other; and (d) extracting an aqueous solution containing the combined form from the phase-separated liquid.
