Summary, etc. Ginger (<em>Zingiber officinale</em> Roscoe) is the most cited plant for medicinal purposes around the globe. The rhizome of <em>Z. officinale</em> has been documented in traditional medical systems around the world, including Indonesia. The ethnomedicine study was conducted to inventory the traditional use of <em>Z. officinale</em> by ethnic groups in Indonesia. This study is one of a few stepping stones towards averting the extinction of indigenous knowledge and medical practices held by the community. The research was designed as a semi-qualitative study that involved 254 ethnic groups from 34 provinces. This study exhibited 785 traditional uses of <em>Z. officinale</em> to treat 69 ailments. <em>Z. officinale</em> was primarily utilized in a combination form of concoction rather than a single preparation. Pre- and postnatal care was recorded as the most frequent indication of <em>Z. officinale</em> practiced by traditional healers. The composition, plant parts used, and the way of administration of <em>Z. officinale</em> were different among the ethnic groups. This study demonstrated the critical role of traditional healers in treating various ailments using <em>Z. officinale</em> and the differences in the traditional utilization of <em>Z. officinale</em> in Indonesia.
