This study aimed to investigate the chemical composition and antibacterial potential of  Terminalia arjuna  (Roxb. ex DC.) Wight Arn. commonly called Arjun leaves essential oil and its major compound i.e., α-terpineol against phytopathogenic bacteria of rice and potato i.e.,  Xanthomonas oryzae  pv.  oryzae, Dickeya zeae  and  Streptomyces scabies.  The essential oil was extracted from the leaves by hydro-distillation method using Clevenger apparatus. The essential oil was characterized by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry analysis which revealed the presence of 34 compounds having α-terpineol as a major compound. It was isolated from the essential oil by column chromatography and its purity was confirmed by  1 H-NMR and IR studies. Both the essential oil and α-terpineol were tested for antibacterial activity against  X. oryzae  pv.  oryzae, D. zeae  and  S. scabies  using agar disc diffusion method. Arjun leaves essential oil was found ineffective against  D. zeae  but exhibited minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 38.5 and 40.0 ppm against  X. oryzae  pv.  oryzae  and  S. scabies  respectively. The major compound i.e., α-terpineol was found more effective than the essential oil against all the three tested bacteria with MIC values of 31.5, 29.5 and 27.0 ppm against  X. oryzae  pv.  oryzae, D. zeae  and  S. scabies  respectively. Hence it can be concluded that α-terpineol, a major compound in Arjun leaves essential oil may be used as a natural eco-friendly antibacterial agent against the above said phytopathogenic bacteria
