The invention discloses spherical 
iron phosphate and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding a 
disperser into iron-
phosphorus mixed liquor containing iron 
ion and 
phosphate anion, thus obtaining mixed liquor A; under a heating condition, adding 
urea into the mixed liquor A to regulate a pH value, and continuously heating to obtainmixed liquor B containing 
crystal-form 
iron phosphate; filtering the mixed liquor B, adding a 
filter cake into water to prepare mixed liquor C, atomizing the mixed liquor C by a spray gun, leading into a 
roasting furnace, and 
roasting at a temperature of 550 to 750 DEG C to obtain the spherical 
iron phosphate. The spherical iron 
phosphate is pure in crystalline phase, good in 
crystallinity, spherical in shape, uniform in grain 
fineness distribution and high in tap density, and can serve as a precursor for synthesizing spherical 
lithium iron 
phosphate with high tap density; the spherical iron phosphate can eliminate microscopic composition difference caused by different 
diffusion paths in a reaction, so as to generate the 
lithium iron phosphate with a uniform structure, and thus the performance of the 
lithium iron phosphate is improved.
