A method for preparing a biomass-based conductive hydrogel by 3D printing is provided. Firstly, a cellulose-based macromonomer, a rosin-based monomer, an acrylic acid monomer and an initiator are mixed in a certain proportion, stirred, and dissolved at 25-70° C. Then, diisocyanate in an amount of 5-10 wt % of a total mass of the monomers is added to the mixed solution and mixed uniformly to prepare a 3D printing photosensitive resin solution. An SLA light-curing 3D printer is used to print a hydrogel precursor 1 with a complex shape. Next, the hydrogel precursor 1 is heated to obtain a hydrogel precursor 2 with a dual-curing network. Finally, the obtained hydrogel precursor 2 is swelled in a 1-15 wt % alkaline solution at 5-60° C. for 0.1-10 hours to obtain the biomass-based conductive hydrogel.
