The present invention relates to a polycarbonate composite, a producing method thereof, and a molded article comprising same. More specifically, the present invention relates to: a polycarbonate composite comprising a matrix resin, which is a polycarbonate resin in which an anhydrosugar alcohol is copolymerized, and a nanomaterial dispersed in the matrix resin, wherein the polycarbonate composite exhibits a more remarkably improved tensile modulus and tensile strength than a conventional biopolycarbonate resin composite, by using, as a diol component, a solid dispersion or molten dispersion obtained by introducing a nanomaterial (dispersible substance) into an anhydrosugar alcohol (dispersion medium) in the form of an aqueous dispersion at the time of manufacture, and has uniform physical properties as the nanomaterial is uniformly dispersed in the composite; a producing method thereof; and a molded article comprising same.
