An object of the invention is to provide a cartilage regenerative material that suppresses infiltration of fibrous soft tissue and brings about satisfactory cartilage regeneration, and a method for producing the cartilage regenerative material. Provided is a cartilage regenerative material including a porous body of a biocompatible polymer and a biocompatible polymer film, in which the porous body contains chondrocytes and cartilage matrix, and the cartilage matrix exists in a region of 10% or more of a region extending from the surface of the transplant face of the porous body to a depth of 150 µm along the thickness.
