The invention provides an epitaxial growth method for a light emitting diode. The method comprises the step of sequentially growing a buffer layer, a non-doped layer, an N-type doped layer, a quantum well light emitting layer and a P-type doped layer on a substrate, wherein the quantum well light emitting layer includes an indium gallium nitride InGaN quantum well layer and an aluminum gallium nitride AlGaN quantum barrier layer and is grown in a periodic growth mode. According to the epitaxial growth method, provided by the invention, for the light emitting diode, the quantum well light emitting layer is grown in a periodic growth mode, which enables the dislocation density of the quantum well light emitting layer to be reduced by one order of magnitude to 10<6>cm<-2>, greatly reduces the carrier overflow effect and improves the number of radiative recombination centers in the quantum well light emitting layer. The phenomenon of efficiency decline of the LED at high current density is effectively restrained, for example, the efficiency decline of the LED is no more than 5% when test is carried out with the use of high current under the condition of large size (1mm<2>).
