The present invention addresses the problem of suitably improving a treatment agent for a carbon fiber precursor in terms of the heat resistance and the effect of suppressing fusion between fibers during the step of flame-resisting treatment. This treatment agent for a carbon fiber precursor is characterized by containing a lubricant, the lubricant comprising a specific sulfur-containing diester compound and a specific sulfur-containing monoester compound.
