The present invention relates to a method for purifying L-valine from a L-valine complex. The method comprises: A, complexing racemic DL-valine and a resolving agent N-benzoyl-L-alanine to obtain an L-valine complex, adding 0.5-5 times the organic solvent to the L-valine complex, and carrying out heating reflux for 1-3 h in a reaction kettle; B, filtering the mixture obtained in the step A while hot, returning the solid to the kettle, adding 0.5-5 times the organic solvent, carrying out stirring reflux for 1-3 h, repeatedly performing three times, and filtering to obtain an L-valine crude product; C, adding 10-20 times the water to the crude product obtained in the step B, carrying out heating dissolving, decolorizing with active carbon, and filtering to obtain a decolorizing liquid; and D, carrying out pressure reducing concentration crystallization on the decolorizing liquid obtained in the step C in a crystallization kettle, filtering, and drying the wet product to obtain the L-valine finished product. According to the present invention, the hetero amino acids are not generated, the purification yield is obviously improved, the finished product quality is improved, the decolorizing liquid separation with the adsorption column in the traditional purification method is eliminated, and the operation is simple.
