The invention belongs to the technical field of biomass conversion utilization, and concretely relates to a method for preparing cyclopentanone by taking biomass resource as a raw material. The method comprises taking furfural coming from biomass as the raw material, taking a hydrogen-containing gas as a reducing agent, and in the presence of a metal supported type catalyst, performing hydrogenation rearrangement reaction in a high-pressure reaction kettle or a fixed bed reactor, so as to obtain cyclopentanone in one step, wherein the carrier of the metal supported type catalyst is selected from Nb2O5, H-ZSM-5 molecular sieve, HY molecular sieve, Fe2O3, ZrO2, Al2O3, SiO2, CeO2, MgO, active carbon, and TiO2 in various crystal forms, the active composition is selected from Au, Pt, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir, Ni and Cu, and the active composition load capacity is 0.1-5% of the catalyst. The method is mild in reaction technological conditions, and cheap and easily-available in raw materials, is capable of realizing quantitative conversion of furfural to cyclopentanone, and belongs to an environment-friendly green chemical technology.
