A method for producing a high softening point aliphatic petroleum resin, which comprises using as a feed oil a C5 fraction which is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon components having boiling points within a range of from 20.degree.0 to 110.degree. C. formed by cracking or modification of naphtha or petroleum and conducting polymerization of the feed oil by means of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst, wherein isoprene is added to the feed oil in an amount of from 1 to 20% by weight, and the polymerization is conducted by introducing the feed oil into the catalyst dissolved or suspended in an organic solvent, over a period of at least 1/2 of the polymerization time.
