The Holden Statesman was a full-size rear-wheel drive sedan built by Holden in Australia between 1990 and 1999 (first generation), between 1999 and 2006 (second generation) and between 2006 and 2010 (third generation). In 2010 the Statesman badge disappeared but the similar Holden Caprice remained available.

The Holden Statesman typically had a right-hand drive configuration but the 1999 and 2006 models were also produced with left-hand drive configuration for export mainly to the Middle East where they were sold as Chevrolet Caprice.

The 2006 Holden Statesman WM and its sister model the Holden Caprice WM were based on the Holden Commodore VE that was launched in the same year. Although very similar, the Statesman WM and the Caprice WM were marketed as two different cars. The Statesman WM was marketed as the more comfortable, the Caprice WM as the more sporty.

The 2006 Holden Statesman WM with left-hand drive configuration was used as the technical base for the Bitter Vero Sedan.
