Antibacterial activity of crude extract of pisang kepok raw fruit peel (Musa paradisiaca x balbisiana) were tested against Staphylococcus aureus. This research was designed with 5 treatments and 3 replications. Various concentration of sample extract that has been given are P0: 0%, P1: 25% (0.5 mg/2 ml), P3: 50% (1 mg/2 ml), P4: 75% (1.5 mg/2ml), and P5: 100% (2 mg/2 ml), in aqueous solution. The result shows the potential of sample extract to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. P5 shows the best result in inhibit Staphylococcus aureus growth with the lowest colony count i.e. 8.7 x 104colonies
