Ján Stanislav (12 December 1904, Liptovský Ján, Austria-Hungary – 29 July 1977, Liptovský Mikuláš, Czechoslovakia) was a Slovak linguist and specialist in Slavic studies.
He was born in Liptovský Ján in December 1904. Stanislav studied Slavic studies and Romance studies at the Comenius University in Bratislava, but also at the universities in Paris, Kraków and Ljubljana. He graduated from Faculty of Philosophy of Comenius University in Bratislava in 1928. Then he worked as an assistant and a docent at the Slavic Seminar of the university. In 1936, he became a professor of comparative Slavic linguistics and Old Church Slavonic.
