The object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a diene-based rubber/inorganic compound complex capable of allowing a silicic acid compound including silica and the like to be dispersed uniformly and allowing a reinforcing effect to be exerted sufficiently, as well as a complex produced by said method and a rubber composition containing said complex. A latex comprising a diene-based rubber such as styrene-butadiene copolymeric rubber, butadienestyrene-isoprene copolymeric rubber and the like is mixed with an aqueous solution of a silicate in which an alkaline salt of silicic acid such as sodium silicate, potassium silicate and the like is dissolved, and then the resultant mixture is further mixed with an aqueous solution of electrolytes containing [1] a cationic substance which has an affinity to the diene-based rubber including a cationic polymer coagulating agent such as poly(meth)acrylic ester or the like and a cationic surfactant such as alkylamine acetate or the like and [2] a salt of an acid such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and the like with a multivalent metal such as calcium, magnesium and the like, to form a co-coagulated material, which is followed by a drying, whereby obtaining a diene-based rubber/inorganic compound complex.
