The invention relates to a method for preparing target-level high-purity tantalum powder. According to the method for preparing the target-level high-purity tantalum powder, a block-shaped mixture of tantalum powder prepared through potassium fluotantalate sodium reduction and one or more of diluted slats including NaCl, KCl and KF is filtered and washed with pure water, when the conductivity of filtering and washing liquid is smaller than 5000 us/cm, the filtered and washed mixture is poured into a horizontal type ball mine for wet-type ball milling, the mixture is taken out, acid pickling, suction filtration and drying are conducted on the mixture, so that raw tantalum powder is obtained, thermal treatment, oxygen reduction, oxygen-reduction acid pickling, secondary drying and detection are conducted on the raw tantalum powder, and then the target-level high-purity tantalum powder is obtained. According to the method for preparing target-level high-purity tantalum powder, the technology is simple, the production cost is low, the tantalum powder prepared according to the method is large in apparent density, high in purity, low in oxygen content and capable of meeting the requirement of a target for the purity and the density of materials, and therefore tantalum target cost and tantalum alloy target cost are greatly reduced.
