The invention provides a wide beam interference suppression method for weak target detection, which comprises the following steps: step 1) receiving a broadband signal of a long-distance target by a space linear array, and performing fast Fourier transform on the signal received by each array element of the linear array in a time domain to generate a time domain frequency spectrum of each array element signal of the linear array; dividing the space linear array into a plurality of overlapped sub-arrays; performing phase compensation on the signal time domain spectrum of the overlapped subarrays to form beam domain output and obtain a subarray azimuth spectrogram; 2) utilizing a sub-array azimuth spectrogram, determining an interference orientation, performing interference suppression weighting on the beam domain output, correcting the interference suppression weighting by using the expected null width to obtain null weighting, and controlling the interference suppression width of the beam domain output to obtain an orientation spectrogram after interference suppression, thereby realizing suppression of strong interference and detection of a weak target under a strong interference background. According to the invention, a strong interference signal of a wide beam is effectively suppressed, the detection performance of a weak target is improved, and the output signal-to-interference ratio is improved; sea test data proof validity.
