To provide a curing accelerator for an oxidatively polymerizable unsaturated resin which can decrease the amount of cobalt metal soap used and has curing performance equal to or higher than excellent curing performance of the cobalt metal soap, and a printing ink and a coating material using the same. A curing accelerator for an oxidatively polymerizable unsaturated resin including a manganese or cobalt complex (α) containing quinolinol compound ions represented by Structural Formula (1) as a ligand, and a printing ink and a coating material including the curing accelerator. n n n n n n n n n n In the formula, R 1 is any of a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a nitro group, a nitroso group, a sulfo group, and a halogen atom, and n is an integer of 1 to 6. |
