A method of selecting an object by using a multi-touch, by which the object displayed on a screen of an electronic device is selected, is provided. The method includes determining whether at least two touches are input to a touch screen of an electronic device, determining a reference point from touch points where the at least two touches have been input, when it is determined that the at least two touches have been input, tracking a path along which the determined reference point is moved, as the at least two touch points are moved on the touch screen, and selecting at least one object corresponding to the moving path of the reference point on a screen displayed on the touch screen.
