Abstract

A solid catalyst component for olefin polymerization exhibits excellent catalytic activity during polymerization, and can produce a polymer that exhibits excellent stereoregularity, bulk density, and the like even when a polymerization catalyst is produced in an inert atmosphere using an electron donor compound other than a phthalic ester and an organosilicon compound. The solid catalyst component for olefin polymerization is produced by bringing a vinylsilane compound (d) into contact with a catalyst component, the catalyst component being a powdery solid component obtained by bringing a magnesium compound (a), a titanium halide compound (b), and an electron donor compound (c) into contact with each other, the electron donor compound (c) being one or more compounds that do not include a phthalic ester structure, and include one or more groups selected from an ester group, a carbonate group, and an ether group, the vinylsilane compound (d) being brought into contact with the catalyst component in a 0.1 to 15-fold molar quantity with respect to the molar quantity (on a titanium atom basis) of the titanium halide compound (b) included in the catalyst component.
