Abstract: In recent years,marine natural products of fungal origin have gained considerable recognition,as many of them possess novel structures and interesting biological and pharmacological properties.Many metabolites show antitumor properties.This review partially summarizes the new antitumor compounds from marine fungi with classification according to the sources of marine fungi (marine animals,mangrove,sediment,alga and sea water),including their chemical structures and biological activities.Those fungi found from 2014 to the April 2016 are discussed.This review provides reference for further research of the antitumor natural products from marine-derived fungi.

Key words: marine-derived fungi, natural products, antitumor activities
