The invention relates to a pressure control valve, in particular to a magnetorheological pressure control valve for achieving hydraulic system pressure control through a force required to start the control valve. The pressure control valve comprises an inner valve body, a valve core, a blanking cap, a main valve body, a working chamber containing magnetorheological fluid, a coil assembly composed of a coil and a magnet separation jacket, an outer valve body, an upper valve body, a thrust shaft, a spring seat, a reset spring, an end cap, a travel switch sensor and a plurality of rubber seal rings. The magnetorheological pressure control valve is simple in structure, convenient to manufacture, high in energy efficiency and quick in pressure response and stepless and intelligent control of system pressure can be achieved.
