Fatty acids and sterols were isolated from petroleum ether extract of seeds of Acanthopanax sessiliflorum Seeman. Fatty acids were obtained from the saponified fraction and sterols from nonsaponified fraction of petroleum ether extract. Fatty acids were identified by gas liquid chromatography, and its composition was myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid. The composition of sterols were determined by preparative TLC and gas liquid chromatography. It was confirmed to be a mixture of stigmasterol and ${\beta}-sitosterol$. These fatty acids and sterols were not previously reported from seeds of Acanthopanax sessiliflorum Seemann.
