Abstract: In the process for polymerizing an olefin in the gas phase according to the present invention, an olefin is continuously fed to undergo a gas phase polymerization in a fluid bed reactor in which a metallocene catalyst is present. At least one compound selected from the group consisting of water, alcohols and ketones is added in a specified amount simultaneously with the feeding of the olefin. Thus, an olefin polymer having a satisfactory drop second count index as defined by the below indicated formula is produced.       X =        t       t₀        x 100           
    wherein t₀ and t respectively represent a flow time measured in the flow test according to ASTM D-1775 of the olefin polymer obtained when none of the water, alcohols and ketones is incorporated in the reactor, and that when at least one compound selected from the group consisting of water, alcohols and ketones is incorporated in the reactor. 
     The flowability of the polymer formed in the reactor according to the process of the present invention is excellent, so that blocking, bridging and the like do not occur during the gas phase polymerization. Thus, it is feasible to stably produce a (co)polymer having excellent particle properties in high yield for a prolonged period of time.
