The invention relates to a method for preparing dicyclopentadiene through gas-liquid phase depolymerization of a C9 raw material. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out reduced pressure rectification division on the C9 raw material to obtain a thermal depolymerization raw material, preheating the thermal depolymerization raw material, and conveying the preheated thermal depolymerization raw material into a depolymerization kettle R1; carrying out liquid phase to obtain a gasification material, and carrying out a gas phase depolymerization reaction on the gasification material in the upper portion of the depolymerization kettle to obtain a gas phase depolymerization material; adding the gas phase depolymerization material to a tubular heater, heating, carrying out gas phase depolymerization, adding the obtained material to a cooling heat exchanger, carrying out heat exchange to cool in order to obtain a gas phase material and a liquid phase material, allowing the gas phase material and the liquid phase material to enter a rectifying tower T1, obtaining CPD at the top of the rectifying tower T1, allowing CPD to enter a dimerization reactor R2, and dimerizing to obtain DCPD; and allowing the DCPD to enter a rectifying tower T2, carrying out reduced pressure recitification, removing light fraction from the top of the rectifying tower T2, and removing heavy fraction from the bottom of the rectifying tower T2 to obtain dicyclopentadiene. The method has the advantages of advanced process, high conversion rate of the C9 raw material for preparing the DCPD, full recycling of system waste heat, and suitableness for industrial application, and the purity of the obtained DCPD product is not lower than 99%.
