The invention relates to a method for preparing zirconium titanate by an oil-water interface process, which comprises the following steps: (1) under room temperature conditions, dropwisely adding a zirconium oxychloride solution and tetrabutyl titanate into a sodium oleate water solution, adding cyclohexane, and stirring to obtain a mixed solution; (2) pouring the mixed solution into a reaction kettle, adding a NaOH solution to regulate the pH value, keeping the oil-water ratio at 1:1, reacting at 160-180 DEG C for 24-18 hours, washing, separating the oil phase, washing, centrifuging, drying to obtain a primary product, and roasting to obtain the zirconium titanate ZrTiO4. The method is simple to operate, and has the characteristics of favorable repetitiveness, controllable reaction conditions, lower temperature requirements and the like.
