The invention discloses a natural benzaldehyde preparation method. According to the invention, one oxide or two or three composite oxides from V, Ti, Ag, Ba, and Mg can be taken as a catalyst, O2 or air is introduced as an oxygen source, cinnamaldehyde is atomized through compressed air or oxidation, and then is introduced into a fixed bed reactor, a gas-solid phase catalysis continuous reaction is carried out under normal pressure at the temperature of 120-200 DEG C, a product continuously passes through a molecular distillation apparatus, molecular distillation is carried out at the temperature of 60 DEG C under 100 Pa, and the natural benzaldehyde product is obtained. The natural benzaldehyde preparation method has the advantages of simple and novel process, simple operation, no requirement of solvent, simple separation, and fast reaction rate, excessive oxidation of cinnamaldehyde is prevented, a reaction process is environmentally friendly, the natural degree of benzaldehyde is good, and the product purity is high.
