A method for producing a hydrogenated ring-opening metathesis polymer includes subjecting a cyclic olefin to ring-opening metathesis polymerization in the presence of a polymerization catalyst to produce a ring-opening metathesis polymer, and hydrogenating at least some of carbon-carbon double bonds of the ring-opening metathesis polymer, at least one ruthenium compound selected from a group made of a ruthenium compound represented by a formula (I), (II), (III), and (IV) being used as the polymerization catalyst; and a resin composition having a hydrogenated ring-opening metathesis polymer produced by this method. It is possible to industrially advantageously produce a hydrogenated ring-opening metathesis polymer that exhibits especially excellent light transmittance.
