Stanislovas Kęstgaila (1503–1532)[1] was a Lithuanian nobleman, son of Stanislovas Kęsgaila from the Kęsgaila family. Stanislovas Kęstgaila was the Elder of Samogitia (1527–1532) and castellan of Trakai (1528–1532).[2] After marriage to Anna, daughter of Stanisław Kiszka, Stanislovas was the wealthiest magnate in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.[2]

When Stanislovas was appointed as the Elder of Samogitia in 1527, Grand Duke Sigismund I the Old limited power and income of the elder as 17 valsčius were transferred to Grand Duke's jurisdiction.[3] The elder was left with 8 valsčius (Karklėnai, Kražiai, Medingėnai [lt], Patumšiai [lt], Pavandenė, Tendžiogala [lt], Viduklė and Žarėnai)[3] that had only about 10% of the Samogitian population.[2] After Stanislovas' early death, the office of the Elder of Samogitia was assigned to Piotr Kiszka,[4] who was not a member of the Kęsgaila family, which had the position of Elders of Samogitia for more than a century.[5] Stanislovas' last will left about a third of his possessions to the Grand Duke, who then transferred the towns to his wife, the Grand Duchess Bona Sforza.[4] Subsequently the family faded from the public life.[2]
