This study aims to determine the value of the gravity anomaly in the Bali region, identify the fault structure in the Bali region using gravity interpretation and analyze the relationship between gravity anomaly and seismicity in the Bali region. The data used is secondary data, namely satellite gravity anomaly data obtained from the topex website and earthquake data obtained from the Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysics (BMKG) catalog. Data processing in this study was done using gravity and Second Vertical Derivative (SVD) methods. We used Surfer15 software, Oasis Montaj, and the Generic Mapping Tool (GMT). The results of the complete Bouguer anomaly map show the anomalous value of the study area between 10-220 mGal, regional anomaly 40-190 mGal, and the residual anomaly between (-120)-60 mGal. Judging from the SVD contour map that has included earthquake data in the Bali region for the 2008-2020 period, the type of fault in the Seririt Fault, Tejakula Fault, and Fault around Mount Agung is a thrust fault. Judging from the value of the coefficient of determination, it shows that 99% of the seismicity value is influenced by gravity anomaly. The higher the value of the gravity anomaly, the higher the seismicity value.
