Abstract: In this paper the regularity of weak solutions and blow-up criteria for smooth solutions to the micropolar fluid equations in three dimensional space are studied in the Lorentz space $ L^{p,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^3)$. We obtain that if $ u\in L^q(0,T;L^{p,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^3))$ for $ \frac2q+\frac3p\le 1$ with $ 3<p\le \infty$ or if $ \nabla u\in L^q(0,T;L^{p,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^3))$ for $ \frac2q+\frac3p\le 2$ with $ \frac32<p\le \infty$ or if the pressure $ P\in L^q(0,T;L^{p,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^3))$ for $ \frac2q+\frac3p\le 2$ with $ \frac32<p\le \infty$ or if $ \nabla P\in L^q(0,T;L^{p,\infty}(\mathbb{R}^3))$ for $ \frac2q+\frac3p\le 3$ with $ 1<p\le \infty$, then the weak solution $ (u,\omega)$ satisfying the energy inequality is a smooth solution on $ [0,T)$.
