The present invention discloses a mesoporous manganese ferrite Fenton-like catalyst and preparation method and application thereof and pertains to the field of preparation of Fenton-like catalysts. The present invention uses KIT-6 as a hard template agent to synthesize mesoporous manganese ferrite catalyst. The prepared mesoporous manganese ferrite and hydrogen peroxide constitute a Fenton-like system oxidation wastewater treatment system to carry out efficient removal and mineralization of organic pollutants in wastewater.
