The invention relates to a gas distributor and a vinyl acetate synthesis reactor comprising the same. The gas distributor comprises an expanding current stabilization part and a spherical head, wherein the first end of the expanding current stabilization part is connected with the head of a multitubular vinyl acetate synthesis reactor, the second end corresponding to the first end of the expanding current stabilization part is connected with the spherical head of the gas distributor or the second end and the spherical head are formed integrally, the diameter of the first end of the expanding current stabilization part is larger than that of a reactor inlet, and distributing pores are uniformly arranged in the area coverage of the spherical head. According to the invention, studies by computational fluid dynamics show that by using the gas distributor with the above structure, the uniform distribution of gas can be well realized; by using the catalyst support mode of the above structure, the structure of the reactor can be greatly simplified, the manufacturing, installation, disassembly and maintenance of devices are convenient, and the incidence that the catalyst falls off and other accidents can be reduced; by using the temperature measurement mode disclosed herein, the control precision of the reactor can be well raised.
