description <i>Fusarium</i> species are commonly found in soil, water, plants, and animals. A variety of secondary metabolites with multiple biological activities have been recently isolated from <i>Fusarium</i> species, making <i>Fusarium</i> fungi a treasure trove of bioactive compounds. This mini-review comprehensively highlights the newly isolated secondary metabolites produced by <i>Fusarium</i> species and their various biological activities reported from 2019 to October 2024. About 276 novel metabolites were revealed from at least 21 <i>Fusarium</i> species in this period. The main metabolites were nitrogen-containing compounds, polyketides, terpenoids, steroids, and phenolics. The <i>Fusarium</i> species mostly belonged to plant endophytic, plant pathogenic, soil-derived, and marine-derived fungi. The metabolites mainly displayed antibacterial, antifungal, phytotoxic, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic activities, suggesting their medicinal and agricultural applications. This mini-review aims to increase the diversity of <i>Fusarium</i> metabolites and their biological activities in order to accelerate their development and applications.
