The Moldovan Constitution of 1994 has been the supreme law of the Republic of Moldova since 27 August 1994.

The current Constitution of Moldova was adopted on 29 July 1994 by the Moldovan Parliament and published in the Moldovan official gazette on 12 August 1994. It came into force on 27 August 1994, abrogating the previous Constitution of 1978 in its entirety.

Since 1994, the Constitution has been successfully amended eight times. There have also been unsuccessful attempts to amend it, such as the 2010 constitutional referendum.
