The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating inflammatory disease containing a peptide derived from Octopus minor. The novel antibacterial peptide or fragment thereof according to the present invention may efficiently inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines responsible for inflammatory responses in LPS-activated macrophages, and thus may be effectively used to prevent or treat inflammatory disease.
