The Statielli, also rendered Statellates or Statiellenses, were a Celto-Ligurian people of north-western Italy who lived in the upper basin of the Bormida river, around present-day Acqui Terme, during the Iron Age and the Roman period. They are known chiefly for the events of 173 BC, when the consul Marcus Popillius Laenas attacked and enslaved them after they had surrendered, an act the Senate reversed in the following year. Their principal centre, Carystum, has not been located. The Roman town of Aquae Statiellae (modern Acqui Terme) took its name from them.
