The invention provides a pre-crosslinked gel granulate for profile control and polymer flooding as well as a preparation method and application of a pre-crosslinked gel granulate. The pre-crosslinked gel granulate belongs to a reagent for oil exploitation, and is obtained by polymerizing and crosslinking a composite monomer and an instable crosslinking agent under initiation of an initiator so as to obtain body gel, drying and grinding, wherein the composite monomer comprises acrylamide and acrylic acid; and the instable crosslinking agent is selected from polyethylene glycol diacrylate, polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate, polypropylene glycol diacrylate, glycol diacrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, ethoxy trihydroxymethyl triacrylate and the like. The volume of the gel granulate is expanded by absorbing water; after the gel granulates are injected into an oil deposit, big pore canals and ultrahigh pervious layers are plugged in the immediate vicinity of wellbore of an oil layer, so that the injected water enters into a low pervious layer area to start residual oil; after acting for certain time, the gel granulate is automatically hydrolyzed into a solution, so that oil-water mobility control is realized; and the gel granulate has double functions of profile control and polymer flooding, is suitable for the oil deposits of a high water holding period, and can be used for improving the recovery rate of petroleum.
