Abstrak. Pengguna internet terbanyak berdasarkan umur ada di kategori 15-19 tahun (remaja). Media sosial diduga sebagai cara dalam menurunkan rasa kesepian karena dapat membangun hubungan online. Seseorang yang kesepian dapat berinteraksi dengan orang lain, serta mengekspresikan diri lebih baik di dunia maya daripada secara langsung. Remaja yang tidak memiliki kepuasan dalam kehidupan sosialnya akan menggunakan media sosial secara terus menerus karena menimbulkan perasaan senang, hal ini berasal dari dopamin yang berperan dalam mempengaruhi emosi manusia, karena mengakses media sosial ini menyenangkan bagi remaja yang tidak puas dalam hubungannya, maka remaja melakukan hal ini secara berulang hingga menjadi kebiasan dan kehilangan kontrol yang menimbulkan adiksi hingga menganggu aktivitas sehari-hari. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan data empiris tentang seberapa erat hubungan adiksi media sosial dengan kesepian pada remaja kota Bandung. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode korelasi dengan total subjek penelitian 125 orang. Alat ukur adiksi media sosial adalah SMAS yang dikembangkan oleh Al-Menayes tahun 2015, sedangkan alat ukur kesepian mengadaptasi dari University of California, Los Angeles Loneliness Scale Version 3 oleh Daniell W Russell tahun 1996. Dari hasil penelitian menunjukan adanya keeratan hubungannya sebesar 0,202 yang artinya kekuatan hubungan tersebut lemah sehingga semakin rendah adiksi media sosial, maka semakin rendah kesepian pada remaja di kota Bandung.
