The present invention relates to a method for producing endothelial cells, including carrying out: (a) inducing a population of mesoderm-lineage cells containing endothelial progenitor cells from pluripotent stem cells without forming an embryoid body； and (b) culturing the population of mesoderm-lineage cells containing endothelial progenitor cells in the presence of RepSox, in this order. According to the present invention, endothelial cells with high quality can be efficiently produced from pluripotent stem cells. The endothelial cells obtained by the method of the present invention are useful for the production of, for example, a myocardial sheet, and expected to be utilized in the treatment of a heart disease. A myocardial sheet can be produced by mixing the endothelial cells obtained by the method of the present invention with myocardial cells and mural cells and culturing the cells.
