Ialoveni (Romanian pronunciation: [jaloˈvenʲ]) is a city in the Republic of Moldova situated 10 km (6 mi) from Chișinău.

The city is administrative center of the Ialoveni District.

In 1989, after Moldova gained suveranity, on citizens' demand, the locality re-took its old name – Ialoveni.

Since 7 December 1994 Ialoveni has status of city/town (Romanian: oraş).

In 2013, the Constitutional Court of Moldova interpreted that Article 13 of the constitution is superseded by the Declaration of Independence,[5] thus giving official status to the name Romanian.
