To provide an oxygen detection body excelling in light resistance and storage stability, excelling in responsivity to an oxygen concentration change, and excelling in practicality.

This oxygen detection body is made by superimposingly coating or printing a base material with an oxygen detection composition 1 and an oxygen detection composition 2; the composition 1 comprising a complex with a cation interfacial active agent, a reversibly discoloring organic dye, and a reducing agent, inserted between layers of phyllosilicate; and the composition 2 comprising a mixture of the organic dye and the reducing agent.
