The invention relates to a method for detecting organic-solvent residues in dabigatran etexilate, and particularly relates to a method for simultaneously detecting residues of alcohol, acetone, ethyl acetate and tetrahydrofuran in dabigatran etexilate by gas chromatography. An external standard method is adopted for simultaneously detecting the amount of the residues of four types of organic solvents in the dabigatran etexilate, and the chromatographic conditions are as follows: a chromatographic column is in the type of Agilent DB-1301 (30m*0.32mm*0.25microns), the column temperature is increased by programming, the initial temperature is 40 DEG C, the maintaining time is 6 minutes, then the temperature is increased to be 180 DEG C at a speed of 50 DEG C/min and is maintained for 10 minutes, the temperature of a sample inlet is 200 DEG C, the detection temperature is 250 DEG C, carrier gas is N2, the flow is 2ml/min, a headspace sampling method is adopted, the balance time is 30 minutes and the balance temperature is 90 DEG C. The method is high in sensitivity, good in repeatability and high in accuracy, and is suitable for detecting the organic-solvent residues in the dabigatran etexilate.
