The invention relates to a method for extracting anthocyanin from Europe vaccinium myrtillus. The method includes the following steps that 1) the Europe vaccinium myrtillus is used as a raw material, reflux extraction is conduct in a 40%-60% ethanol solution, hydrochloric acid is added into the ethanol solution, after an extracting solution is concentrated, a chromatographic column filled with macroporous resin is used, the macroporous resin is washed until effluent is clarified, then a 40%-60% ethanol solution is used for conducting elution, the eluant is collected, concentrated and dried, and then a crude extract is obtained; 2) subcritical extraction is conducted on the crude extract by using acetone as an extraction agent, the injection rate of the extraction agent is one to two times of the weight of the crude extract, the extraction temperature is 58-62 DEG C, the extraction pressure is 2.8-3.2MPa, the extraction time is 20-40min, and after self-volatilized acetone is recycled, a finished product can be obtained. According to the method for extracting the anthocyanin from the Europe vaccinium myrtillus, the processes of ethanol solution reflux extraction, macroporous resin absorption, subcritical extraction and the like are adopted, the steps are simple, the used time is short, the dosage of reagents is small, the yield is about 0.5%, the content of the anthocyanin is about 70%, the yield and the purity are high, and therefore the method is more suitable for industrial production.
