The invention discloses a high-temperature-resistant polymer thickening agent for an oil field fracturing fluid as well as a preparation method and application of the thickening agent. The preparation method of the thickening agent comprises the following step: polymerizing acrylamide, other olefin monomers, an initiating agent and a chain transfer agent in an aqueous solution by virtue of a solution process, wherein the weight ratio of acrylamide to the other olefin monomers to water is (10-20):(6-18):(62-84); and the other olefin monomers are selected from one or more, preferably two or three, of anionic olefin monomers, cationic olefin monomers or non-ionic olefin monomers. According to the high-temperature-resistant polymer thickening agent disclosed by the invention, free radicals are generated by using an aqueous solution catalyst process so as to ensure that the monomers are subjected to ternary polymerization or quaternary polymerization to form the anionic high molecular polyacrylamide polymer with the molecular weight of 4,000,000-8,500,000. After the thickening agent is crosslinked with a crosslinking agent, the thickening agent can be used for tolerating high temperature of more than 210 DEG C, and has the advantages of good crosslinked gel elasticity, strong sand carrying capacity, anti-shearing performance, salt resistance, no residues and the like.
