The invention discloses a Doppler information based method for tracking a low-altitude low-speed small target through a radar. The method comprises the following steps: 1), respectively carrying out distance clustering on target trace point sets generated when the radar performs scanning of an (i-1)th time and an i-th time, and respectively rejecting cluster false alarm points; 2), according to the target trace point sets with the cluster false alarm points being rejected after the scanning of the (i-1)th time and the i-th time, establishing Q possible tracks; and the radar continuously carrying out scanning of an (i+1)th time and an (i+2)th time, updating each possible track and a target trace point interconnection number, rejecting possible tracks whose target trace point interconnection numbers are smaller than 3, and then rejecting false tracks in the possible tracks so as to obtain D successfully starting target tracks; and 3), the radar carrying out scanning of an (i+r)th time, updating each successfully starting target track and its frame loss number, if the frame loss numbers of the successfully starting target tracks are not greater than 3, adding 1 to inertia frequency r, the radar continuously tracking the successfully starting target tracks, and otherwise, the radar stopping tracking the successfully starting target tracks.
