The invention discloses a crystal form of pralatrexate, a pharmaceutical composition containing the pralatrexate, and a preparation method and an application of the pralatrexate. According to the crystal form, in an X-ray powder diffraction pattern using a radiation source as Cu-Kalpha, characteristic absorption peaks are formed at the diffraction angles 2theta of 8.29 degrees, 15.73 degrees, 16.72 degrees, 17.21 degrees, 18.46 degrees, 19.01 degrees, 21.38 degrees, 25.25 degrees and 25.56 degrees; and the error range of 2theta is + / -0.2 degrees. The preparation method of the crystal form disclosed by the invention comprises the following steps: heating and dissolving pralatrexate into a good solvent; and dropwise adding an anti-solvent until turbidity is achieved, naturally cooling, and devitrifying, so as to obtain the crystal form. The crystal form of the pralatrexate disclosed by the invention has the advantages of high purity, good stability and the like.
