The invention relates to a method of resolving tamsulosin enantiomer, and in particular, relates to a method of resolving tamsulosin, represented as the formula (I), into an R-enantiomer and an S-enantiomer. The method includes the steps of: (a) dissolving a solid mixture of (R)-tamsulosin free alkali and (S)-tamsulosin free alkali in a solvent and performing a reaction to the free alkalis with camphor-10-sulfonic acid to form a solution containing a pair of diastereomeric camphor-10-sulfonates of tamsulosin, and then preferentially precipitating one diastereomeric camphor-10-sulfonate of the tamsulosin from the solution containing a pair of the diastereomeric camphor-10-sulfonates of tamsulosin, thereby forming a precipitate, in which one diastereomer is enriched, and a solute, in which the other one diastereomer is enriched; and (b) from one of the precipitate and the solute, releasing tamsulosin free alkali to obtain optical-rotation-enriched tamsulosin free alkali. The method has excellent technical performance.
