The invention relates to a combustion gas catalyst, a preparation method and application thereof, a catalytic burner and a preparation method thereof. The combustion gas catalyst comprises a carrier, a catalytic active component and a modifier, wherein the carrier is mainly prepared from Al2O3, and the catalytic active component consists of either or both of Pt and Pd. The combustion gas catalyst disclosed by the invention has the characteristics that the catalytic activity is high, the performance is stable, no naked fire exists during burning, the burning is sufficient, toxic waste gases are hardly produced, and the like, and the service life is long under the normal working temperature of 1,100 DEG C. The catalytic burner disclosed by the invention has very high infrared radiation efficiency, polluting gases of burnt gas are few, the cost is low, the burner is less prone to backfiring, and the use safety performance of combustion gas is high, so that the catalytic burner can be applied to the manufacture of gas stoves, gas water heaters, gas heaters, gas boilers or industrial gas drying equipment and the like.
