A method for producing an RFeB system sintered magnet according to the present invention includes : a process (S1) of preparing a lump of HDDR-treated raw material alloy that contains a polycrystalline substance including crystal grains having an average grain size of 1 µm or less in terms of an equivalent circle diameter calculated from an electron micrograph image, by an HDDR treatment including steps of heating a lump of RFeB system alloy containing 26.5 to 29.5% by weight of the rare-earth element R, in a hydrogen atmosphere at a temperature between 700 and 1, 000°C, and changing the atmosphere to vacuum while maintaining the temperature within a range from 750 to 900°C; a process (S2) of preparing a lump of raw material alloy having a high rare-earth content by heating the lump of HDDR-treated raw material alloy at a temperature between 700 and 950°C in a state where the HDDR-treated raw material alloy is in contact with a contact substance including a second alloy that contains the rare-earth element R at a higher content ratio than a content ratio of the rare-earth element R in the RFeB system alloy; a process (S3) of preparing raw material alloy powder by fine pulverization of the lump of raw material alloy having a high rare-earth content into powder having an average particle size of 1 µm or less; an orienting process (S4) including steps of placing the raw material alloy powder in a mold, and applying a magnetic field to the raw material alloy powder without conducting compression molding; and a sintering process (S5) including a step of heating the oriented raw material alloy powder at a temperature between 850 and 1, 050°C.
