The invention discloses a microwave dielectric ceramic and a preparation method thereof. The microwave dielectric ceramic is mainly composed of ZrO2, TiO2 and Nb2O5; the microwave dielectric property of the microwave dielectric ceramic can be improved by selectively adding MgO, CoO, ZnO, NiO and MnO2; the chemical constitution formula of the ceramic is xZrO3-YTiO2-zA(1+W)/3Nb(2-w)/2O3; in formula (I), A is one or more elements of Mg, Co, Zn, Ni and Mn; x, y and z are molar ratios, wherein x is between 0.2 and 0.7, y is between 0.2 and 0.6,, z is between 0.1 and 0.2, and, x plus y plus z is equal to 1; numerical range of w is l between 0 and 0.5. According to the microwave dielectric ceramic and the preparation method thereof, the ceramic has the characteristics that the dielectric constant is high, the loss is low, and the temperature coefficient is close to zero, and is liable to sinter; the preparation method has the characteristics that the price of raw materials is low, and a technology during production is simple.
