The invention discloses rare earth ultraviolet light transmitting glass. According to the technical scheme, the rare earth ultraviolet light transmitting glass comprises the ingredients in percentage by weight of oxides: 62-65% of SiO2, 3-5% of Al2O3, 22-24% of B2O3, 5-7% of Na2O, 0.1-1% of rare earth, 0.1-1% of Li2O, and 0.1-1% of ZnO. The ultraviolet light transmittance at a UVC (ultraviolet C) wave band can be greater than 89-90%, and the rare earth ultraviolet light transmitting glass can be directly sealed-in with refractory metals (tungsten, tantalum, molybdenum, niobium, hafnium, chromium, vanadium, zirconium and titanium) and kovar alloy. The rare earth ultraviolet light transmitting glass is applicable to manufacturing glass bulbs of a phototube, a photomultiplier tube, an ultraviolet sterilization tube, an ozone generation tube and the like, or light window materials.
