A process for producing aromatic carboxylic acids by subjecting an aromatic compound having one or more substituent alkyl groups and/or partially oxidized substituent alkyl groups to a liquid phase oxidation with a molecular oxygen-containing gas in a reaction solvent containing a lower aliphatic carboxylic acid in the presence of a catalyst composed of a heavy metal compound and a bromine compound, under a condition of a weight proportion of said reaction solvent to said aromatic compound within the range from 6.5 to 70 parts by weight per one part by weight of said aromatic compound, a reaction time within the range from 45 to 4.5 minutes and a product of the numerical value of said weight proportion of the reaction solvent to the aromatic compound multiplied by the numerical value of said reaction time expressed in munute within the range from 270 to 330. The process can facilitate the diffusion of oxygen into the reaction medium and improve the volumetric efficency of the reactor to thereby attain an efficient production of aromatic carboxylic acids with a high productivity.
