The present invention provides a metal sheet, on a first surface of which a resist pattern having a narrow width can be stably provided. This manufacturing method for a metal sheet includes a preparation step for preparing a sheet material comprising an iron alloy that contains nickel. When a composition analysis of the first surface of the metal sheet obtained from the sheet material is performed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the resulting ratio A1/A2 does not exceed 0.4, where A1 is the sum of the peak area value of nickel oxide and the peak area value of nickel hydroxide, and A2 is the sum of the peak area value of iron oxide and the peak area value of iron hydroxide.
