The present disclose relates to a high-reactivity hydrogel particle and preparation method therefor and use thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) performing polymerization reaction of double-bond modified polyethylene glycol, a modified natural polymer and an optional active functional monomer to obtain a gel; (2) smashing the gel to obtain a gel particle; and (3) performing enzymolysis reaction of the gel particle and an enzyme to obtain the hydrogel particle with reactivity. The double-bond modified polyethylene glycol has a double bond and a polyethylene glycol chain segment, the modified natural polymer has sulfydryl or a double bond, the active functional monomer is selected from a sulfydryl functionalized biological adhesive peptide or sulfydryl functionalized cholesterol, and the enzyme is an enzyme corresponding to the natural polymer. The obtained hydrogel particle has high reactivity and can be used for subsequent secondary crosslinking. The hydrogel particle also has good biocompatibility.
