To provide a metallic catalyst carrier which attains improvement in cleaning performance due to a diffusion action of the exhaust gas without forming a slit hole on a metallic foil sheet.

The metallic catalyst carrier is provided with a rolled honeycomb body 2 obtained by multiply winding a corrugated metallic foil sheet 4 and a short-pitch corrugated metallic foil sheet 5 in a state where the end of the corrugated metallic foil sheet 4 in the width direction and that of the short-pitch corrugated metallic foil sheet 5 in the width direction are superposed on each other to form a superposed part 7.
