The present invention provides a method for purification of retinal pigment epithelial cells with which high purity retinal pigment epithelial cells can be obtained in short time by a simple procedure from a cell group obtained through differentiation induction to retinal pigment epithelial cells from pluripotent stem cells. This purification method includes a step in which a cell group that contains retinal pigment epithelial cells obtained through differentiation induction of pluripotent stem cells on laminin or fragments thereof is introduced into a filter and the cell group that has passed through the filter is obtained.
