Statistics South Africa (officially the Department of Statistics South Africa, and often shortened to Stats SA) is the national statistical service of South Africa. The Department has the goal of producing timely, accurate and official statistics to advance economic growth, development and democracy.

Statistics South Africa produces official demographic, economic and social censuses and surveys. To date Statistics South Africa has produced four censuses, in 1996, 2001, 2011 and 2022.

Statistics South Africa was previously known as the "Central Statistical Service", shortly after the end of apartheid and absorbed the statistical services of the former Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda and Ciskei.
