A rapid, precise, economical and accurate reverse phase liquid chromatographic method for estimation of Mephedrone in bulk and formulations was developed and validated. The Chromatographic resolution of Mephedrone was achieved using Acetonitrile: 0.1M Ammonium Acetate Buffer PH~ 4, (40: 60 V/V) as a mobile phase UV detection at 232 nm and C18 column .flow rate 1ml/min. Recovery of Mephedrone from its formulation dosage form was greater than 99.8% . Calibration curve was linear (r2 = 0.9992) over Mephedrone concentration ranging From 20 to 120 μ g /ml. the method has an accuracy of greater than  99% . The LOD and LOQ of the drug were 0.80339 μ g /ml and 2.43450 μ g /ml respectively. Results were validated statistically and recovery studies were found to be satisfactory.
