Endophytic fungi have been recognized as a potential source of bioactive secondary metabolites. The endophytic <i>Trichoderma</i> species were isolated from <i>Vinca</i> plants (<i>Vinca major, Vinca herbacea</i>, and <i>Vinca minor</i>), found in Iran and screened for antimicrobial and anti-proliferative activity. Based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses, four fungal species were identified: <i>T. asperellum, T. brevicompactum, T. koningiopsis, and T. longibrachiatum</i>. In addition, e
