Plants have been an important source of medicine with qualities for thousands of years. Plants are the traditional sources for many chemicals used as pharmaceutical biochemicals, fragrances, food colours and flavours in different countries especially in India. Cynodon dactylon (L) Pers commonly known as Bermuda grass belongs to the family Poaceae. In ethnomedicinal practices, the plant Cynodon dactylon is used to treat various diseases and has many potential pharmacological actions. The objective of the study was to investigate the phyto-components present in the ethanolic extract of Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers by GC-MS analysis to ascertain its usage by the local community as a plant possessing medicinal properties. A total 31 compounds were identified from ethanolic extract of C dectylon. The major constituents were Turmerone (0.23%), Octadecanoic acid (0.96%), n-hexadecanoic acid (13.63%), Lidocaine (3.87%) Tetradecanoic acid (0.28%), Neophytadiene (0.37%), Tetracosanol (1.64%), Phytol (1.64%), Stigmasterol (2.99%). These findings support the traditional use of Cynodon dactylon in various disorders. The detected Phytoconstituents encourage future isolation of these remarkable substances for potential usage in the pharmaceutical industry
