The invention discloses a method for recycling heavy metal resources of stainless steel pickling waste water neutralization sludge and belongs to the technical field of recycling of sludge after sewage treatment. The method comprises the following steps of: 1) performing acid pickling, namely extracting the stainless steel pickling waste water neutralization sludge by using sulfuric acid as extractant, and adding an additive to inhibit the leaching of ferrum; 2) oxidizing, namely adding oxidant into a leaching solution to oxidize Mn(II) into manganese dioxide; 3) performing ion exchange, allowing a solution obtained after oxidation to pass through an anion exchange column, enriching and recycling hexavalent chromium, adsorbing and saturating, regenerating by using regenerant, and recycling chromate from a regeneration solution; and 4) performing neutralization precipitation, namely recycling nickelous hydroxide from ion exchange effluent by a neutralization precipitation method. By the method, ferrum is inhibited at an acid pickling section, the acid pickling is performed while ferrum is removed, the multi-stage multi-step recycling of manganese, chromium, and nickel metal resources can be realized, the innocent treatment of sludge and recycling of heavy metal are realized, and the method has comprehensive benefit of economic benefit, environmental benefit and social benefit.
