The invention discloses a method for treating lead-zinc sulfide ore production wastewater and recycling zinc from wastewater. The method comprises the following steps of: 1) adding calcium carbonate ore into the lead-zinc sulfide ore production wastewater, stirring and reacting till the pH value of the wastewater is within 6.0-7.0, filtering, adding a flocculant into the obtained filtrate, stirring, standing, precipitating, and filtering so as to respectively obtain the de-ironed wastewater and ferric hydroxide slag; 2) adding sulfide and the flocculant into the de-ironed wastewater, stirring, standing, precipitating, and filtering so as to respectively obtain dezinced and de-ironed wastewater and zinc slag, wherein the sulfide is sodium sulfide or sodium bisulfide, and the sulfide is added in a solution manner; and 3) adding ferric hydroxide slag into the dezinced and de-ironed wastewater to react up, and filtering, wherein the filtrate can meet the discharge standard. The method is simple to operate, the discharge water treated by using the method can meet relevant national water discharge standard, and the recycling of heavy metal resource products and up-to-standard emission of wastewater are realized.
