A collagen-coated carrier that has excellent cell adhesion properties and that allows excellent cell growth thereon is provided. Further, a method for manufacturing such a collagen-coated carrier efficiently and reliably is also provided. The collagen-coated carrier includes a base material (carrier) composed of a calcium phosphate-based compound and a coating layer provided so as to cover the surface of the base material. The coating layer is composed of collagen and a protein having a high affinity for the collagen. Such a coating layer covering the surface of the base material is formed by allowing the base material to firmly adsorb the collagen via the protein. The protein preferably has a collagen receptor. More preferably, the protein contains at least one of fibronectin and integrin as a main ingredient.
