The invention relates to an iron and nitrogen co-doped carbon oxygen reduction catalyst. The preparation method comprises steps: a carbon carrier is dissolved in an organic solvent, ultrasonic dispersion for being uniform is carried out, soluble iron salt is added under a stirring condition, and after uniform mixing, a mixed solution is obtained; the mixed solution is transferred to a reaction kettle, a reaction is carried out under the stirring condition, the reaction solution after the reaction is subjected to solid-liquid separation, washing and drying to obtain a solid material, the solidmaterial and a nitrogen source are mixed and grinded, and a pyrolysis precursor is obtained; and the pyrolysis precursor is roasted in an inert atmosphere to obtain the iron and nitrogen co-doped carbon oxygen reduction catalyst, wherein the carbon carrier is Ketjen black nano carbon black particles. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages of high oxidation reduction catalytic activity, good electrochemical stability, simple and controllable preparation method, short period, rich raw material reserves, low cost, capability of realizing large-scale production and the like.
