Provided are a cation exchange resin being capable of producing a cation exchange membrane, an electrolyte membrane, a binder for forming an electrode catalyst layer, and a battery electrode catalyst layer, which has excellent electrical properties (cation conductivity) and chemical properties (gas permeability and water uptake property); a cation exchange membrane, an electrolyte membrane, and a binder for forming an electrode catalyst layer, which is formed from the cation exchange resin; and a battery electrode catalyst layer which is formed from the binder for forming an electrode catalyst layer. For example, used is a cation exchange resin in which a hydrophobic unit being composed of divalent hydrophobic groups including a bisphenol residue having an alicyclic structure, which are repeated via carbon-carbon bond, a hydrophobic unit being composed of hydrophobic groups of a plurality of aromatic rings bonded to each other via a divalent fluorine-containing hydrocarbon group, which are repeated via carbon-carbon bond, and a hydrophilic unit having an aromatic bonded to a cation exchange group-containing group are bonded via carbon-carbon bond.
