The invention discloses a method for preparing a light stabilizer 4-p-toluenesulfonamide-2,2,6,6-tetramentylniperidine. P-toluenesulfonyl chloride and 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramentylniperidine which are taken as raw materials are reacted in the presence of a catalyst and a solvent to form the 4-p-toluenesulfonamide-2,2,6,6-tetramentylniperidine. The 4-p-toluenesulfonamide-2,2,6,6-tetramentylniperidine is prepared from the p-toluenesulfonyl chloride and the 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramentylniperidine, the separation and purification processes are simple, the reaction time is short, the yield of the product is over 90 percent, the product purity is high, energy consumption is low, environmental pollution is light, the cost is low, and the method is an ideal process for industrial production.
