Bullying remains an issue in educational settings, including Islamic boarding schools (*pesantren*), and can impact the psychological well-being of adolescents, specifically their self-esteem. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-esteem and bullying behavior among students at the Ummul Quro Islamic Boarding School in Pekanbaru. A quantitative, cross-sectional research design was employed. The sample consisted of 223 respondents selected via stratified random sampling. The instruments used were the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) to measure self-esteem and the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire-Revised (OBVQ-R) to measure bullying behavior. Data analysis involved univariate and bivariate methods, utilizing Spearman's rho and the Independent Samples t-test (Welch's test). The results indicated that the majority of respondents possessed high self-esteem, while the mean bullying score was 77.63 ± 9.63. Spearman's rho analysis revealed a significant, albeit weak, relationship between self-esteem and bullying behavior (r = 0.201; p = 0.002). Furthermore, the Independent Samples t-test showed a significant difference in bullying scores between the high and low self-esteem groups (p < 0.001), with a large effect size. It is concluded that there is a significant relationship between self-esteem and bullying behavior among the students. These findings highlight the importance of addressing students' psychological well-being in bullying prevention efforts. The boarding school administration is encouraged to enhance students' self-esteem through psychosocial guidance, character building, and the implementation of sustainable bullying prevention programs.
