A method for producing a solid catalyst component for polymerization of an olefin, the solid catalyst component for polymerization of an olefin comprising magnesium, titanium, halogen and a 1,3-diether compound, wherein the method for producing the solid catalyst component does not include an alcohol,
- wherein a ratio of the 1,3-diether compound contained in the solid catalyst component for polymerization of an olefin is 2.50 to 15.00% by mass, and
- a specific surface area of the solid catalyst component for polymerization of an olefin is 250 m2/g or larger, the method comprising:
- contacting a magnesium compound having a specific surface area of 5 m2/g to 40 m2/g, a tetravalent titanium halogen compound, and a 1,3-diether compound with each other.
