The invention discloses a method for quickly screening and detecting azo dyes forbidden in textile materials, leathers and dyes using gas chromatography mass spectrometry, which comprises the following steps: 1) preparing a sample, 2) subjecting the sample to reduction reaction, 3) extracting the sample, 4) performing the gas chromatography mass spectrometry on the sample, 5) screening decision: compared with the GC-MS analysis result of a standard solution, if the retention time and the mass spectrum of the aromatic amine in the sample keep with standards, the sample is judged as a suspicious positive sample, otherwise it is a negative sample and directly judged as a qualified sample. The sample pre-treatment time is shortened, the cost is reduced, the detection time is shortened, the operation step is simple, the operation is convenient, the operation time is short, the operation cost is low, the detection efficiency is improved; the aromatic amine in the sample is detected by a gas chromatography mass spectrometer, color interference problem is not existed, the sample matrix is effectively prevented from being infected, and the judgment accuracy is high, thus the method is not only suitable for textile materials, but also suitable for other products such as leathers and dyes.
