A material for fuel cell separators having excellent adhesion between a base and a carbon layer, excellent conduction durability and excellent production efficiency; and a method for producing the material are provided. The method includes: a coating step wherein a coating layer that contains carbon and a binder compound containing a carbon atom and an oxygen atom is formed on the surface of a titanium base of titanium or a titanium alloy with a thickness of 40-200 μm; and a heat treatment step treating the titanium base covered with the coating layer. The titanium base covered with the coating layer is wound into a coil shape and then subjected to the heat treatment carried out in a vacuum atmosphere of 10 Pa or less. A carbon layer and an intermediate layer containing titanium carbide are formed from the coating layer in the heat treatment step.
