A process for producing an alkylene oxide adduct can continuously produce the alkylene oxide adduct by using a microflow reactor having a tubular flow passage and a micromixer connected to a supply port of the microflow reactor. Liquid state alkylene oxide, alkylene catalyst and an organic compound having an active hydrogen atom(s) are reacted while passing therethrough under the conditions of a temperature of the flow passage of 70 to 200 C. and a pressure of the supply port of the flow passage of 1 to 10 MPa.
