Mangroves are plants which its ecosystems have very important roles and functions. Beside its purpose as a food chain in a waters, mangroves are also known as a breeding ground for aquatic biota, and the producers of wood used for building raw materials, foodstuffs, and medicines. The purpose of this study was to identify the bioactive compounds contained in the Soneratia alba mangrove derived  from Inner Ambon Bay. The research method is an experiment carried out on S. alba leaves using maceration method. The solvent using were methanol, ethyl acetate and n-hexane. The bioactive content identified qualitatively. The results showed that there were 6 bioactive components identified in the methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of S. alba leaves named flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids, phenolics, and saponins, but from the 6 bioactive components, phenolic and saponin components were not detected in the n-hexane extract
