    The widespread occurrence of macrolide antibiotics in aquatic environments poses serious ecological and public health concerns, highlighting the need for reliable, accessible, and validated analytical methods. In this study, a rapid and cost-effective high-performance liquid chromatography method with photodiode array detection (HPLC-PDA) was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of azithromycin (AZM), clarithromycin (CLR), and erythromycin (ERY) in wastewater. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Agilent Zorbax Eclipse C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) at 35 °C using a mobile phase of acetonitrile and 10 mM NaH<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> buffer (60 : 40, v/v, pH 6.0), flow rate 0.8 mL min<sup>-1</sup>, and injection volume 10 µL. Retention times were 3.76, 4.91, and 6.23 min for AZM, CLR, and ERY, respectively, with baseline resolution (<i>R</i> <sub>s</sub> > 1.5). The method exhibited excellent linearity over 2-15 µg mL<sup>-1</sup> for all analytes (<i>R</i> <sup>2</sup> = 0.997-0.999). Limits of detection (LOD) were 5-6 µg L<sup>-1</sup> and limits of quantification (LOQ) were 17-20 µg L<sup>-1</sup>, meeting AOAC (Association of Official Analytical Chemists) performance standards. Intra- and inter-day precision (%RSD) were below 2.0%, and mean recoveries from spiked wastewater samples ranged from 99.1% to 104.5%. Minor deliberate changes in pH (±0.2) or flow rate (±0.1 mL min<sup>-1</sup>) produced negligible effects (<2% deviation), confirming the robustness of the method. Matrix effects were minimal (<3%), demonstrating that the wastewater matrix did not interfere with analyte detection. Application of the validated method to hospital and livestock wastewater samples revealed macrolide concentrations up to 13.36 mg L<sup>-1</sup> (CLR), 11.27 mg L<sup>-1</sup> (ERY), and 7.80 mg L<sup>-1</sup> (AZM). The developed HPLC-PDA method is therefore suitable for routine environmental monitoring, providing a simple and reliable tool for assessing macrolide antibiotic contamination in wastewater.
