The invention belongs to the technical field of 
pressure detection, and particularly relates to a flexible 
pressure sensor and a preparation method thereof. The flexible 
pressure sensor comprises a flexible substrate, a patterned 
electrode in 
close contact with the flexible substrate, a 
signal transmission 
electrode electrically connected with the patterned 
electrode, a pressure-sensitive layer covering the patterned electrode, and a protective layer covering the pressure-sensitive layer or the 
signal transmission electrode. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, selecting a flexible film or a 
textile fabric as a flexible substrate; S2, manufacturing a patterned electrode layer; S3, preparing a pressure-sensitive layer; S4, preparing a first 
protection layer; S5, manufacturing a 
signal transmission electrode; and S6, preparing a second 
protection layer. The patterned electrode, the pressure-sensitive layer and the protective layer are all directly processed layer by layer through printing or 
etching, so that the processes of fitting 
processing, packaging and the like are omitted, the deformation of a 
film material can be effectively avoided, and the sensor is light, thin, small and exquisite in size, low in 
power consumption, suitable for application requirements in various occasions and high in universality.
