A method of producing a coloring material dispersion is a method of producing a coloring material dispersion that contains water and a coloring material, including a polymerization step of performing a polymerization reaction in a liquid phase that contains an organic solvent containing two or more hydroxyl and/or ether groups in a molecule, a hydrophobic monomer having an aromatic ring or a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester structure, and a hydrophilic monomer containing a carboxylic acid group or a sulfonic acid group to synthesize a dispersion resin. The dispersion resin has a weight-average molecular weight of 5,000 or greater and less than 100,000. A content of a constituent unit A corresponding to the hydrophobic monomer in all constituent monomers contained in the dispersion resin is 50 mol % or greater.
