The invention discloses a mud cake adhesion lubricant for water-base drilling fluid, and the mud cake adhesion lubricant comprises 0.1-15wt% of mud cake adhesion lubrication improver, 0-4wt% of triethanolamine, 0.01-20wt% of surfactant and the balance of oil, wherein the chemical formula of the mud cake adhesion lubrication improver is (RCO2)[x]M or (RCO2)[x-y](OH)[y]M, wherein the R in the formula is a saturated straight chain or branched chain alkyl group of C8-C20, or an unsaturated straight chain or branched chain alkyl group of C8-C20; M is <+2>, <+3> or <+4> valent metal ions; x is equal to 2-4, y is equal to 0-2, and x is greater than y; the HLB of the surfactant is greater than 8; the oil is mineral oil, plant oil, waste engine oil, plant oil-modified oil or recovered gutter oil. The mud cake adhesion lubricant for water-base drilling fluid has excellent mud cake adhesion lubrication capability, and the reduction rate of the mud cake adhesion lubrication coefficient can achieve more than 70%.
