The invention relates to a graphene sensitivity enhancing ITO metamaterial U-shaped SPR (Surface Plasmon Resonance) sensor, which comprises a U-shaped optical fiber, wherein the U-shaped area of the U-shaped optical fiber is provided with a Gr/Au@ITO nanorod hybrid material structure. The preparation method comprises the steps of (1) preparing a U-shaped optical fiber, and preparing a gold nanoparticle layer in the U-shaped area of the U-shaped optical fiber; (2) preparing an ITO nano array structure; and (3) loading a graphene layer. According to the invention, the U-shaped optical fiber is adopted to serve as a transmission medium of light, the Gr/Au@ITO nanorod hybrid material structure is prepared on the surface of the U-shaped optical fiber, the sensitivity of the SPR sensor is enhanced by the highly enhanced local electromagnetic field generated in nanometer gaps between the uniform nanorod structures, and the sensitivity is further enhanced by the carrier flow brought by the graphene layer. The sensor has the outstanding advantages of small volume, light weight, easy carrying, high sensitivity, stable property, strong and short biological affinity and the like, and has wideapplication prospect in the detection aspects of trace gases, liquid, chemical elements, DNA and the like in the fields of biology, chemical engineering, medicine and the like.
