Disclosed is a method for preparing a dialkyl carbonate, in which a dialkyl carbonate such as dimethyl carbonate is economically prepared in an environmentally-friendly manner at a higher yield while reducing generation of a by-product. The method for preparing the dialkyl carbonate includes reacting urea, an alkyl carbamate having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or a mixture thereof with a monovalent alcohol having 1 to 3 carbon atoms in the presence of a room temperature ionic liquid and a catalyst including a salt of a transition metal or a rare earth metal.
