A solid polymer fuel battery activation method is an activation method of a solid polymer fuel battery that includes an anode electrode, a cathode electrode, and a solid polymer membrane arranged between the anode electrode and the cathode electrode, the method including: supplying a mixed gas of an oxidizing gas and an inert gas to the cathode electrode; performing electric power generation while applying a voltage having a predetermined width or less between the cathode electrode and the anode electrode while setting the cathode electrode to be positive by an external electric power source in a state where hydrogen is supplied to the anode electrode; measuring an activity state of a catalyst of a cathode from a value of a current flowing at the electric power generation; and determining completion of activation of the solid polymer fuel battery from a measurement value relating to the activity state.
