A shape memory polyurethane elastomer molded article formed from a polyurethane elastomer which has a degree of crystallinity of 3.about.50 wt %, contains approximately equal amounts of [NCO] groups and [OH] groups at the terminals of the polymer, and is polymerized by the prepolymer method from a difunctional diisocyanate, a difunctional polyol, and a difunctional chain extender containing active hydrogen groups, which are formulated in a molar ratio of diisocyanate: polyol: chain extender=2.00.about.1.10: 1.00: 1.00.about.0.10, preferably 1.80.about.1.20: 1.00: 0.80.about.0.20. It is capable of melt molding such as injection molding, extrusion molding, and blow molding, and can be manufactured freely without being restricted by the shape of the molded article.
