#### Abstract

Let $\mathcal{B}$ be a certain Banach space consisting of analytic functions defined on a bounded domain G in the complex plane. Let ${\varphi}$ be an analytic polynomial or a rational function and let $M_{\varphi}$ denote the operator of multiplication by ${\varphi}$. Under certain condition on ${\varphi}$ and G, we characterize the commutant of $M_{\varphi}$ that is the set of all bounded operators T such that $TM_{\varphi}=M_{\varphi}T$. We show that $T=M_{\Psi}$, for some function ${\Psi}$ in $\mathcal{B}$.
