Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for industrially efficiently and continuously producing an aldehyde by hydrogenating an ester, while recycling the unused hydrogen and the unreacted ester, wherein the selectivity of the aldehyde is maintained at a satisfactory level. SOLUTION: This method for producing an aldehyde of the formula: R-CHO comprises hydrogenating an ester of the formula: R-COOR' (R is a non- substituted or substituted aliphatic group, alicyclic group, aromatic group or aralkyl group; R' is a group derived from a 1-10C alcohol] with excessive hydrogen in an amount of 2-200 moles per mole of the ester in the presence of a heterogeneous hydrogenation catalyst at 200-450 deg.C in a gas phase, while recycling the unreacted hydrogen and the unreacted ester. Therein, the alcohol is removed from the recycling flow in such an extent as the initial concentration of the produced alcohol: R'-OH in the reaction mixture is maximally 1 mole per mole of the carboxylic acid ester II.
