The study was aimed to determine the antimicrobial activity of Moringa oleifera L. leaf extract againts the growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis. This study was conducted at the Microbiology Laboratory of the Department of Pharmacy, Ministry of Health Polytechnic Makassar, South Sulawesi. Three different concentrations of Moringa leaf extract were used, namely 2% b/v, 4% b/v and 8% b/v which were tested on S. epidermidis bacteria using the paper disk diffusion method. The results showed that Moringa oleifera L. extract could inhibit the growth of S. epidermidis by showing the inhibition zone around the extract. The biggest inhibition zone at a concentration of 8% b/v was 14 mm, for a concentration of 4% b/v was 10.8 mm and the smallest zone at a concentration of 2% b/v was 9.3 mm.
