The invention discloses a method for refining cefpiramide acid, and belongs to the technical field of medicines. The method comprises the following steps: A, putting crude cefpiramide acid into a solvent 1, adding a transaminating agent, stirring and dissolving the mixture to clarification, so as to obtain a cefpiramide salt solution; B, adding a decolorizing agent into the cefpiramide salt solution, filtering and collecting filtrate; C, controlling the filtrate temperature to be 10-20 DEG C, adding a dissolution agent, filtering and collecting a solid crystal; D, putting the solid crystal into a solvent 2, controlling the temperature to be 10-15 DEG C, adding an acidic reagent to adjust the pH value to 2.0-3.0, adding a seed crystal, crystallizing, filtering and collecting the solid crystal of cefpiramide acid and mother liquor; and E, washing the solid crystal of cefpiramide acid and drying to obtain refined cefpiramide acid. The cefpiramide acid prepared with the method is high in purity, few in impurities and low in color grade; and the refining method provided by the invention has the advantages of being simple in process, environmentally friendly, and suitable for large-scaleindustrial production, saving energy, and the like.
