Cinnamon has its activity as an antimicrobial, as it contains active compounds such as essential oils. The study aims to analyse the antibacterial activity of cinnamon extracts against the growth of Escherichia coli. The research method uses the research design post-test only with control group with the method of diffusion paper discs at concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Results showed that the cinnamon extract concentration of 100% and 75% had activity in inhibiting the growth of Escherichia coli with a diameter of the 4.85 mm and 3.15 mm inhibitory zones.
