The invention discloses a composite negative electrode material, a preparation method thereof, a battery negative electrode and a lithium ion battery, and relates to the technical field of battery materials. The composite negative electrode material comprises secondary carbon particles and gamma-MnS loaded on the secondary carbon particles, the secondary carbon particles comprise amorphous carbon and graphite, the particle size of the graphite is less than 2 microns, and the particle size of the secondary carbon particles is 10-50 microns. According to the composite negative electrode material provided by the invention, the particle size of the composite negative electrode material is increased, so that the particle size of the composite negative electrode material is uniform, the doping structure is stable, graphite is not easy to peel off in charge and discharge cycles when the composite negative electrode material is prepared into a battery negative electrode, and in addition, gamma-MnS is loaded on the surfaces of secondary carbon particles, so that the specific capacity of the composite negative electrode material is greatly improved; the contact area between the gamma-MnS and the electrolyte and the conductive substrate is increased, so that the Li < + > ion transmission coefficient is increased, the lithium removal and lithium insertion capabilities of the composite negative electrode material are stronger, the material is not easy to pulverize, and the cycle performance is better.
