A method of preparing a gallium-doped LLZO solid electrolyte includes (a) preparing a solid electrolyte precursor slurry by subjecting a mixed solution comprising a metal aqueous solution including lanthanum (La), zirconium (Zr) and gallium (Ga), a complexing agent and a pH controller to coprecipitation; (b) preparing a solid electrolyte precursor by washing and drying the solid electrolyte precursor slurry; (c) preparing a mixture by mixing the solid electrolyte precursor with a lithium source; (d) preparing a gallium-doped LLZO solid electrolyte represented by Chemical Formula 1 below by calcining the mixture at 600 to 1,000&#xb0; C.; and (e) thereafter sintering the solid electrolyte represented by Chemical Formula 1 at 1,000 to 1,300&#xb0; C. By adjusting amounts of starting materials and controlling flow rates of supplied materials, a high-precision cubic structure with improved sintering properties is obtained and ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte is increased.LiGaLaZrO, (5&#x2264;&#x2264;9, 0&#x3c;&#x2264;4, 2&#x2264;&#x2264;4, 1&#x2264;&#x2264;3).&#x2003;&#x2003;Chemical Formula 1
