Abstract: Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) onboard the International Space Station is continuously measuring particles and nuclei in space since May 2011.  After briefly introducing the indirect searches for particle Dark Matter with Cosmic Rays, I will present mainly the current status of AMS measurements of electron, positrons and antiprotons which are among the main signal channels to search for Dark Matter annihilation to Standard Model particle decays.
