The invention discloses a methanation catalyst for a fluidized bed and a preparation method of the methanation catalyst for the fluidized bed. The methanation catalyst for the fluidized bed comprises a carrier, an active component and auxiliary agents, and the active component and the auxiliary agents are loaded on the carrier. The carrier is a compound of Al2O3, ZrO2 and NiO or a compound of Al2O3, TiO2 and NiO; the active component is NiO; the auxiliary agents are oxides of at least one of Mg, Ca, La, Ce, Mn, Fe, Cu, Cr and Co. A co-precipitation method is adopted for preparation of the carrier of the catalyst, and uniformity in component distribution is realized; then spray forming is adopted to obtain the micro-spherical catalyst carrier which is high in fluidity and suitable for the fluidized bed. In preparation of the carrier of the catalyst, silicon sol or silicon-aluminum composite sol is added to serve as an adhesive; in a process of quick preparation of the micro-spherical carrier by spray forming, the silicon sol or silicon-aluminum composite sol is dispersed among carrier components, and after high-temperature calcination, the catalyst carrier is high in mechanical strength, abrasion resistance and impact resistance.
