Disclosed is a (meth)acrylate compound having excellent photocurability. Also disclosed is a curable composition using the (meth)acrylate compound, a cured film of which excels in pattern precision, releasability, surface hardness, elasticity recovery rate and solvent resistance. Further disclosed are a composition for optical nanoimprint, a cured product of the curable composition, and a method for producing the cured product. The composition is particularly suitable for a permanent film for flat panel displays or the like. Specifically disclosed is a (meth)acrylate compound represented by general formula (1). (1) (In the formula, R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; R2 represents a substituent having 2-6 carbon atoms and a carbon-carbon double bond; X represents an organic group having 1-10 carbon atoms; and m and n respectively represent an integer of 1-3.)

It's object is to provide a (meth)acrylate compound excellent in photocurability, a curable composition comprising the compound and excellent in all of pattern accuracy, peelability, surface hardness, elasticity recovery and solvent resistance, an optical nanoimprint composition and a cured product of the curable composition and a method for producing it, especially to provide a composition favorable for a permanent film for flat panel displays, etc. A (meth)acrylate compound represented by the following formula (1): wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R2 represents a substituent having carbon atoms of 2 to 6 and having a carbon-carbon double bond, X represents an organic group having carbon atoms of 1 to 10, m and n each are an integer of 1 to 3.
