A method for producing a high-purity carboxylic acid ester, the method including bringing a crude carboxylic acid ester that contains anionic impurities and Ag, Al, Au, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na, Sn, and Zn metal impurities into contact with a cation-exchange resin, followed by bringing the crude carboxylic acid ester into contact with an anion-exchange resin to obtain to provide a high-purity carboxylic acid ester in which the Ag, Al, Au, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na, Sn, and Zn metal impurity content are each less than 1 ppb and the anionic impurity content is less than 1 ppm.
