A process capable of producing an ethylene/α-olefin copolymer having a high molecular weight even under the conditions of a high polymerization temperature is provided. The process for producing an ethylene/α-olefin copolymer includes copolymerizing ethylene and an α-olefin having 3 or more carbon atoms in the presence of an olefin polymerization catalyst including a crosslinked metallocene compound (A) represented by the following general formula [I] and a cocatalyst component (B). In the general formula [I], Y is selected from a carbon atom, etc. , M is a hafnium atom or the like, R1 to R12 are each selected from a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group, etc., R13 and R14 are each a substituted aryl group or the like, at least one of R13 and R14 is a substituted aryl group having one or more electron-donating substituents having a Hammett substituent constant σ of not more than -0.2, Q is selected from a halogen atom, etc., and j is an integer of 1 to 4.
