This study described students mistake on solving newton’s law problems. The subjects were 60 students of high school in 11th grade. This study used survey method with data collection technique was test. Test consisted of 10 items about the description of Newton's law (cronbach alpha 0.638). The results showed that many students mistake on solving problems about 1st Newton’s Law, 2nd Newton’s law, 3rd Newton’s law and concept of friction. Students just rememberred the mathematical equations of Newton's law without understanding the physical meaning. It was advisable to conduct further research as an effort to reduce students' mistakes, one of them is through learning that involves students participating on problem solving and given assistance so that students can do problem solving independently.
