In physics, the statampere (symbol statA) is the unit of electric current in both the cgs-esu (centimeter-gram-second electrostatic) system and the Gaussian system of units. One statampere is a flow of charge equal to 1 statcoulomb per second.

1 statA = 1 A/(10 c), where c is the speed of light (c ≈ 3⋅108 m/s) and A is the SI unit for electric current.
