Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a stainless steel with excellent contact resistance for a polymer fuel cell separator. The method of manufacturing a stainless steel with excellent contact resistance for a polymer fuel cell separator according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: electrolyzing to remove a first passivation film formed on a cold-rolled thin sheet of a stainless steel comprising, in percent (%) by weight of the entire composition, C: greater than 0 to 0.1%, N: greater than 0 to 0.02%, Si: greater than 0 to 0.25%, Mn: greater than 0 to 0.2%, P: greater than 0 to 0.04%, S: greater than 0 to 0.02%, Cr: 22 to 34%, Ti: greater than 0 to 0.5%, Nb: greater than 0 to 0.5%, the remainder of iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities; and immersing in a mixed acid solution of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid to form a second passivation film on the stainless cold-rolled thin sheet.
