Genstat (General Statistics) is a statistical software package with data analysis capabilities, particularly in the field of agriculture.[2][3]

It was developed in 1968 by the Rothamsted Research in the United Kingdom and was designed to provide modular design, linear mixed models[4][page needed] and graphical functions.[5] It was developed and distributed by VSN International (VSNi),[6] which was owned by The Numerical Algorithms Group and Rothamsted Research.

Genstat is used in a number of research areas, including plant science, forestry, animal science, and medicine.[3]
