Abstract: In this article, we prove the following spectral theorem for right linear normal operators (need not to be bounded) in quaternionic Hilbert spaces: Let

T

be an unbounded right quaternionic linear normal operator in a quaternionic Hilbert space

H

with domain

m a t h c a l D (T)

, a right linear subspace of

H

and fix a unit imaginary quaternion, say

m

. Then there exists a Hilbert basis

m a t h c a l N

of

H

and a unique quaternionic spectral measure

F

on the

s i g m a

- algebra of

m a t h b b C_{m}^{+}

(upper half plane of the slice complex plane

m a t h b b C_{m}

) associated to

T

such that �egin{equation*} leftlangle x | Ty ight angle = intlimits_{sigma_{S}(T) cap mathbb{C}_{m}^{+}}lambda dF_{x,y}(lambda),; ext{ for all}; y in mathcal{D}(T), x in H, end{equation*} where

F_{x, y}

is a quaternion valued measure on the

s i g m a

- algebra of

m a t h b b C_{m}^{+}

, for any

x, y i n H

and

s i g m a_{S} (T)

is the spherical spectrum of

T

. Here the representation of

T

is established with respect to the Hilbert basis

m a t h c a l N

. To prove this result, we reduce the problem to the complex case and obtain the result by using the classical result.
