(57) [Problem] To provide an olefin polymerization catalyst exhibiting excellent polymerization activity and capable of obtaining a polymer having a wide molecular weight distribution, and a method for polymerizing olefins using the catalyst. The catalyst for olefin polymerization comprises (A) a transition metal compound containing a ligand having a cyclopentadienyl skeleton, (B) a transition metal compound of the following formula (I), and (C) an organometallic compound. It consists of an organic aluminum oxy compound or an ionized ionic compound. In the formula (I), M is a transition metal of Groups 3 to 11 of the periodic table; 6; R 1 is a hydrocarbon group and the like; R 2 to R 5 are H, a halogen, a hydrocarbon group and the like; R 6 is a halogen and a hydrocarbon group; n is a number satisfying the valence of M; And a hydrogen group.
