To provide a fluorinated copolymer dispersion, whereby it is possible to obtain an article being excellent in water-and-oil repellency and less susceptible to a decrease in the water-and-oil repellency by alkali, etc. and which presents little impact to the environment by an organic solvent; a method for its production; and an article which is excellent in water-and-oil repellency and is less susceptible to a decrease in the water-and-oil repellency by alkali, etc. The fluorinated copolymer dispersion comprises an aqueous medium and a fluorinated copolymer dispersed in the aqueous medium, wherein the fluorinated copolymer has units based on the following monomer (a) and units based on the following monomer (b), the proportion of the units based on the monomer (a) being from 20 to 60 mol % to all units constituting the fluorinated copolymer, and the fluorinated copolymer has a number average molecular weight of from 10,000 to 100,000: Monomer (a): a compound represented by CH&#x2550;CH&#x2014;R(Ris a Cperfluoroalkyl group); and Monomer (b): a monomer copolymerizable with the monomer (a).
