The invention belongs to the technical field of chemistry and chemical engineering and particularly provides a coupled catalyst system used for directly producing light olefins with synthetic gas. Theinvention mainly solves the problem of low selectivity on the light olefins of a catalyst used for preparing light olefins with synthetic gas in the prior art. In the catalyst, a synthetic gas-to-alcohol catalyst and an alcohol-to-olefin catalyst are coupled to achieve the one-step process of directly producing olefins with synthetic gas. The synthetic gas-to-alcohol catalyst is a modified molybdenum-based catalyst had has the molecular general formula of MoTt-XaYbZc, wherein T is at least one selected from S, O or C, the X is one or more of Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Rh and Pd; the Y is one or more ofCr, Mn, Zn, La, Ce; the Z is one or more selected from alkali metals. The alcohol-to-olefin catalyst is a molecular sieve having a CHA skeleton structure. The catalyst solves the mentioned problems well, can product C2-C4 olefin products high-effectively, continuously and stably, and can be used for industrial production of preparing light olefins with synthetic gas.
