Studies investigating the adverse effects of digital addiction on individuals have increased significantly in recent years. However, there are limited number of studies in the literature concerning pre-service teachers, who play a significant role in raising the future generation. In this study, pre-service teachers' digital addiction level was examined in terms of some relevant variables. The study was designed as a cross-sectional survey model. The convenience sampling method was preferred in determining the participants. 308 pre-service teachers studying in various departments of universities constituted the participants of the study. In the study, "Personal Information Form" and "Digital Addiction Scale" were used as data collection instruments. For data analysis, ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis H, and Post HOC (LSD) tests were used. It was concluded in the study that the digital addiction level of pre-service teachers obtained no statistically significant difference with respect to gender, age, academic level, and internet skills, while a statistically significant difference was found with respect to departments, duration of daily internet use, and duration of access to social networks
