        Aims: Hepatitis B virus infection (HBV) is public health problem in Nepal. The prevalence of HBV was found to be below 1% (0.9%), however some subgroup of population showed high prevalence by various studies. The study aimed to determine the knowledge of Hepatitis B virus infection among health science students of Pokhara University, Nepal. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was done among 200 students of health and allied science of Pokhara University using a structured self-administered questionnaire method. The questionnaire was prepared based on the previous studies. Students from public health, laboratory science, pharmacy and nursing disciplines were enrolled in the study. The information was collected from January to February, 2020. Mean knowledge score of HBV was measured based on 28 related questions as it was done in previous study, in which each correct answer was coded 1 and incorrect answer as 0, resulting the maximum score of 28 for all right answers. Descriptive statistics, and chisquare test, independent sample t test and one -way ANOVA test were applied. Results: Of the total, 74.5% of the respondents were females; and mean age of the respondents was 20.6 (SD ±1.48) years. Mean knowledge score of HBV was 19.48 (SD±2.72) out of 28. The mean knowledge score was 19.90 (SD± 2.67) among females and 18.33 (SD±2.53) among males; there was significant difference in the mean knowledge score between males and females (p value <0.05). Similarly, there was also significant difference in the mean knowledge score among the students of different disciplines of health science (p value <0.05); the highest mean was observed among nursing students which was 21.22 (SD+2.64). Regarding the individual questions, 98% respondents agreed that hepatitis B infection is caused by a virus. Among all, 16.5% respondents agreed that hepatitis B infection can be spread by mosquitoes; the statement was significantly different by sex (P<0.05). Of the total, 41.9% agreed that hepatitis B can be spread through close personal contact such as kissing or talking, 29.5% agreed that sharing dishes with HBV positive patients can cause the spread of virus; 97% reported that hepatitis B is spread through blood-to-blood contact; and 86.5% respondents mentioned that sexual transmission is a common way hepatitis B is spread. Of total, 91% students agreed that there is a vaccine for HBV. Among all, 84% students agreed that HBV is associated with an increased risk of liver cancer and 87.5% mentioned that HBV can lead to liver cirrhosis. Of the total, 58.5% agreed that having a medical and/or dental procedure increases a person’s chances of contracting HBV; 69.5% students believed that symptoms appear soon after the entrance of HBV into the body; 55.8% agreed that symptoms always appear after the entrance of HBV to the body; 38.5% students agreed that people with HBV should be restricted from working in the food industry; and 64.5% students reported that there is a pharmaceutical treatment available for hepatitis B; and the agreement with all the above statements had statistically significant association with sex (p value <0.05). Conclusions: The mean knowledge score of HBV infection was found satisfactory among health science students of Pokhara University, Gandaki province, Nepal. Significant differences were observed in the mean knowledge score of HBV by sex and different disciplines of health science. The curriculum of all health science disciplines should be comprehensive to cover all aspect of HBV infection
