A polyethylene fiber having high strength and extremely high productivity is difficult to obtain by conventional gel spinning methods. This high strength polyethylene fiber includes an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene resin having an intrinsic viscosity of 8 dL/g or more and contains a poor solvent in an amount of 10 ppm or more with respect to the resin. This high strength polyethylene fiber may also contain an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene resin having an intrinsic viscosity of 8 dL/g or more in which the resin contains a non-solvent in which the resin is insoluble in an amount of 10 ppm or more.
