A radio frequency electron accelerator structure for local frequency modulation includes an accelerating cavity, a coupling cavity, and a beam hole. The accelerating cavity and the coupling cavity are alternately assembled together, and the beam hole penetrates the accelerating cavity and the coupling cavity. A local cutting area is arranged inside both the accelerating cavity and the coupling cavity. A local frequency modulation method for a radio frequency electron accelerator is further provided. In the frequency modulation stage of the accelerating cavity, the local cutting area of the accelerating cavity is cut. When the feed amount is large, the change of the volume of the cavity is still small, and the generated frequency variation of the cavity is small, which significantly reduces the difficulty of frequency modulation, lowers the accuracy requirements of machine tools at the same time, and decreases the cost of enterprises accordingly.
