Vasile Stati (born 20 September 1939) is a Moldovan politician and historian.

He studied history and philology at the Moldovan language Department of the State University of Chișinău.

He is the author of numerous publications on the history of Moldova and the Moldovan language. Stati wrote the monographs Moldovenii de la est de Nistru ("The Moldavians to the east of the Dniester") and Istoria Moldovei ("History of Moldova"). He has written about the development of the vernacular Moldavian language and the Slavic influences over the Moldavian culture. In the 1980s, he worked at the Institute of Linguistics and Literature of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova, and from 1994 to 2001 he was a member of the Parliament of Moldova. Until 2005 he was the secretary of the informational-analytic centre of the Moldovan Parliament.

He is a supporter of Moldovenist theories about the separate identity of the Moldovan language in relation to the Romanian language. In 2003 he published the first Moldovan–Romanian dictionary, which caused a wave of criticism from the Romanian and Moldovan scientific and political circles, as contrary to the dominant current paradigm of the unity of the two languages. It contained a foreword whose purpose was to prove that the Moldovan language is distinct from Romanian. The linguists of the Romanian Academy declared that Stati's "Moldovan" words are also Romanian words, while Ion Bărbuță, the head of the Institute of Linguistics of the Republic of Moldova, described the dictionary as being an "absurdity, serving political goals".
