The Statist was a British magazine.
From 1878 to 1894, its subtitle was "a weekly journal for economics and men of business"; from 1894 the subtitle was "an independent journal of finance and trade".
From 1894 to 1900 the assistant editor was George Paish.
It was intended as a rival to The Economist, and had a similar design.
The magazine was closed in 1967 with sales of 20,000-30,000 copies, with fewer than 200 issues.
