We conduct a cross sectional study to determine the learning styles preference of fourth year female medical students in King Abdulaziz University and it was done on our sample between 14-Sep-2014 to 10-Jan2015. A hard copy of the 40 items Honey and Mumford questionnaire with a brief description of each learning style has been distributed among the students. The response rate was 94.5%. By using version 16 of the SPSS, the mean was calculated. Analysis of the data showed that the learning styles preference of the students was as the following; reflectors (29.34%, mean=7.83), followed by theorists (26.98%, mean=7.20) then pragmatists (25.57%, mean=7) and then activists (18.10%, mean=4.83). The teaching staff should be informed about the result to help them planning the courses and modulate their teaching styles to match the variations of students learning styles. Also, trying to broadens the horizon of students beyond their predominant learning style in order to be professional learners through their educational life.
