The invention relates to hyperbranched polyester modified acrylic resin and a preparation method thereof. Firstly, a By-type polyhydroxylated compound is taken as nuclear molecules (wherein B represents hydroxyl, and the degree of functionality y of B is larger than of equal to 2), ABx-type polyhydroxy acid is taken as divergence molecules (wherein A represents carboxyl, B represents hydroxyl and x represents the degree of functionality of hydroxyl and is larger than or equal to 2), a polyester-type hyperbranched polymer with hydroxyl at the terminal is obtained through a vacuum fusion polycondensation method, and esterification reaction is performed on prepared hyperbranched polyester and acrylic resin with carboxyl in the presence of a water-carrying agent to obtain hyperbranched polyester modified acrylic resin. Acrylate with hyperbranched polyester introduced enriches a great amount of hydroxyl, and is taken as a cross-linking group to greatly reduce the curing time of a coating film; and at the same time, hyperbranched polyester has excellent performance of dendritic polymer, molecular chains are not easily twisted, and hyperbranched polyester modified acrylic resin with high solidity and low viscosity can be obtained. According to the invention, the source of raw materials is wide, the price of the raw materials is low, the synthetic method is simple, the controllability is good, and the production cost is low.
