Stanislav Chistov (born April 17, 1983 in Chelyabinsk, U.S.S.R.) is a professional ice hockey player, playing with the Boston Bruins.

Chistov began his career in the Avangard organization, playing for their Super League team in Omsk from 1999-2002. In the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, Chistov was drafted 5th overall by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (now known as the Anaheim Ducks). While military obligations complicated Chistov's transfer to North America, he and fellow draftee Alexander Frolov managed to defect from Russia in 2002.

In his rookie season in the NHL (2002-03), Stanislav managed 30 points in 79 regular season games. The next year, Chistov struggled, and he was sent down to Anaheim's AHL affiliate at the time, the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks. He remained there for the NHL's lockout season of 2004-05, until he decided he did not want to play in the minor pros, and he and the club parted ways.

Chistov returned to Russia for the 2005-06 season, where he enjoyed a solid campaign playing on Evgeni Malkin's line for the Super League's Metallurg Magnitogorsk. In the summer of 2006, Chistov signed a two-year, one-way contract with the Anaheim Ducks. On November 13, 2006, Chistov was traded to the Boston Bruins for a third round draft pick in the 2008 NHL entry draft.
