The invention relates to a preparation process of L-5 - methyl tetrahydrofolic acid, which adopts asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation to convert folic acid into (6S) - tetrahydro folic acid, and has high folic acid conversion rate, and (6S) - tetrahydrofolic acid diastereomeric excess degree. By salt formation and crystallization, the (6S) - tetrahydrofolic acid intermediate with extremely high diastereomeric excess can be easily enriched, and thus the yield and purity of L-5 - methyltetrahydrofolinate finally obtained are high. The catalytic hydrogenation process is very mature in industrial application and convenient to operate. The subsequent methylation and salt formation steps are easy to implement, and the preparation process has high economic value and practical value under the condition that the yield and purity of the product are improved.
