The invention provides a semi-dull low-elongation viscose fiber as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The viscose fiber is obtained by sequentially performing soaking, grinding, squeezing crushing, kneading, directional polymerization reduction, yellowing, dissolving, filtering, defoaming, curing, spinning drawing and after-treatment on a pulp raw material, and has an index system that the dry fracture strength is more than or equal to 3.10cN/dtex, the wet fracture strength is more than or equal to 1.60cN/dtex, the strength needed for generating 5% of the elongation in a wet state is more than or equal to 0.55cN/dtex, the dry elongation at break is 12-14.5%, and the wet fracture extensibility is 16.0-21.0%. The semi-dull high-strength viscose fiber provided by the invention is prepared by virtue of technical innovation, is a novel fiber variety which has an index system different from that of ordinary viscose fibers and Modal fibers, shows high and strong fiber characteristics, and also shows skin affinity stronger than that of cotton fibers, so that the viscose fiber can effectively replace the existing differentiation viscose fiber, the development and the industrial upgrading of downstream novel textiles can be promoted while the processability of the downstream process of the viscose fiber is improved, and the semi-dull low-elongation viscose fiber can be well applied to the field of production of jean fabrics.
