Provided is a method for manufacturing a wick, which facilitates control over capillarity of the wick.A method for manufacturing a wick according to the present invention includes: a step of supplying material powder containing metal powder onto a base; a step of heating the material powder on the base to obtain a sintered compact; and a step of rolling the sintered compact. In this situation, when the material powder supplied onto the base is heated to form the sintered compact, the sheet-shaped sintered compact can be formed. Further, when the sintered compact is rolled, a void ratio of the sintered compact can be controlled after forming the sintered compact, thereby controlling the capillarity of the wick 1.
