The invention relates to an ecological ditch system for farmland return water pollution prevention and control. The ecological ditch system comprises farm ditches, branch ditches, a reservoir/pond and a main ditch, wherein the farm ditches, the branch ditches, the reservoir/pond and the main ditch sequentially communicate. The ecological ditch system is constructed through the following steps of (1) farm ditch construction, wherein (1-1) the farm ditches are finished, (1-2) plants are planted, and (1-3) multiple stone steps are arranged; (2) branch ditch construction, wherein (2-1) the branch ditches are finished, (2-2) branch ditch slopes are arranged, (2-3) soil intercepting dams are built, (2-4) plants are planted and artificial aquatic plants are arranged, and (2-5) gabions are arranged; (3) reservoir/pond construction; and (4) main ditch construction. According to a construction method, finishing and ecological reconstruction are carried out based on an original ditch, drainage of farmland overland runoff and farmland irrigation water is facilitated better, and the structure of agricultural production is not changed in the whole reconstruction process; and meanwhile the purification capacity of the ditch on pollutants in farmland drained water can be improved, no cultivated land resource is additionally occupied, the construction method and process and daily maintenance are simple, and implementation and popularization are easy.
