Let be a W*-algebra, A ( ) the group of all automorphisms of . In this paper we have determined the commutant G’ of a subgroup G of A () for certain classes of G and . The main results are as follows.

Theorem 1. If G is a locally compact abelian group acting by translation on the W*-algebra L∞(G), then the commutant of a dense subgroup of G is G itself.
