Provided is a liquid crystal alignment agent which can obtain a liquid crystal alignment film which is excellent in vertical alignment and has high ultraviolet resistance. The liquid crystal alignment agent is a liquid crystal alignment agent containing at least polysiloxane and a solvent, and the solvent contains a compound represented by the following formula (S1). R10O-((CR112)m1-O)m2-H (S1) In the formula (S1), R10 is a phenyl group or a benzyl group, wherein these phenyl or benzyl groups may also pass through a halogen atom, a cyano group, and a carbon number. 1 to 4 is substituted by an alkyl group, R11 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, m1 is an integer of 2 to 8, and m2 is an integer of 1 to 4, and a plurality of R11's may be the same or different from each other. In the case where there are a plurality of m1, the plurality of m1s may be the same or different from each other. |
