In this study, four seaweed extracts, Ulva fasciata, Ulva compressa (Chlorophyta), Amphiroa rigida (Rhodophyta), and Sargassum lacerifolium (Phaeophyta) were evaluated for their antioxidant activity. The cytotoxic effects of the seaweed extracts on three different cell lines were also assessed. Using the DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging assay, the ethanolic extract of S. lacerifolium had the maximum antioxidant activity (60.17±0.4 %) at 50 µg/ml. Similarly, S. lacerifolium ethanolic extract had the highest ABTS (2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6sulfonic acid) radical scavenging activity (61.4±0.14 %), at 60 µg/ml. While total antioxidant capacity of S. lacerifolium extract recorded(40.19±0.27mg ascorbic acid/gram dry weight (mgAA/gdw). MTT assay for cytotoxicity, in vitro was carried out for the highest antioxidant seaweed S. lacerifolium ethanolic extract, which showed weak cytotoxic activity against MCF7 cell line and moderate cytotoxic activity against HepG2 and Hela cell lines. According to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) data, S. lacerifolium ethanolic extract displayed the presence of several distinct chemicals, including phytol (8.579%), heptadecane (3.080%), and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4,6-trimethylnaphthalene (7.71%). The potential efficacy of the seaweed extract may be related to a synergistic interaction between their fatty acid, alkaloid, phytol, hydrocarbon, phenolic, and phthalate contents, according to GC/MS analyses. In conclusion, these seaweeds are a good source of natural products that contain antioxidant and cytotoxic compounds for the pharmaceutical industry. Oxidative damage caused by the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during metabolic activities in living organisms (Santos-Sánchez et al., 2019). Damage caused by oxidation for biomolecules may be the main causes a majority of chronic diseases, like cancer, atherosclerosis, and ageing caused by reactive oxygen species (Pirian et al., 2017). Antioxidants have potential to counter oxidative stress harmful effects (Larson, 1995; Adwas et al., 2019; Gheda et al., 2023 a and b). They are substances that delay or prevent oxidation by neutralizing or scavenging free radicals in human cells (Abo-Shady
