Provided is a purifying method for dabigatran etexilate free base, comprising subjecting a dabigatran etexilate free base crude product to water slurrying to obtain a crude product B; then conducting recrystallization on the crude product B with acetone and water to obtain a crude product C; and subsequently, purifying the crude product C with a mixed solvent of tetrahydrofuran and ethyl acetate, filtering and drying to obtain a dabigatran etexilate free base finished product. The purifying method of the present invention can effectively remove various impurities and is suitable for workshop production. Salts and water-soluble organic impurities are removed by purified water slurrying, impurities with a high polarity are removed by purifying with an acetone-water solution, and impurities with a low polarity are removed by purifying with a mixed solvent of tetrahydrofuran and ethyl acetate.
