The determination of the nutrient calcium in oil palm leaves has been carried out at the Medan oil palm research center. Determination of the nutrient calcium in oil palm leaves was carried out using the UV-visible spectrophotometric method. The analysis showed that the average calcium content of oil palm leaves was 0.16%. From these results indicate that the calcium content in oil palm leaves is still enaough than the value of critical value palm leaves which the value between 0.17 - 0.19%.
