To provide a magnesium alloy material for molding capable of forming a molding at a high speed without using lubricating oil or solid lubricant such as molybdenum disulfide, to provide a magnesium alloy molding molded from the magnesium alloy material, and to provide a method for producing the magnesium alloy molding.

The surface of the magnesium alloy material is coated with an organic resin such as a water-soluble urethane resin, a water-soluble polyester resin, a water-soluble acrylic resin, a water-soluble epoxy resin, or a modification product thereof or with an organic resin composed of such resin and one or more members selected from among a silane coupling agent, colloidal silica, a lubricant, a metal alkoxide, and the like, to thereby obtain the magnesium alloy material having a frictional coefficient of 0.2 or lower at a molding temperature of 350°C or lower. The magnesium alloy material is molded into a magnesium alloy molding such as an automotive component or a container.
