The present invention provides a method for preparing n-phenylglycinonitrile, wherein the method comprises a step of executing condensation reaction for generating n-phenylglycinonitrile when the phenylamine and glycolonitrile are used as raw materials. The invention is characterized in that according to the continuous production method, the raw materials continuously pass through a pipe type preheater, a pipe type mixer, a pipe type reactor and a reaction still for executing condensation reaction for generating the n-phenylglycinonitrile. The method of the invention has the advantages of fewer devices, simple and brief technical route, saved costs of man power, device, raw materials, energy, etc., improved operating environment, extraordinary automatic control realization, excellent guaranteed safety production operability and continuity, equitability and stability of production thereby guaranteeing the stability of product quality, increasing the product purity and yield. The product purity in the invention is above 95.5%, and the product yield is above 99.8%.
