A '''declarant''', generally speaking, is anyone who composes and [[signature|signs]] a [[:wikt:statement|statement]] or [[Wiktionary:declaration|declaration]] alleging that the information he has given therein is [[truth|true]]. This differs from an ''affiant,'' as in the case of an [[affidavit]] the facts therein are [[oath|sworn]] to before a [[notary public]] or other official, whereas a declaration is usually made by one person for the use of another.

Uttering a statement or declaration which is proven to be false is a crime in many jurisdictions, though usually a separate offence from [[perjury]].

The word declarant, when discussing the [[hearsay]] rule and its exceptions, refers to the person who makes an out-of-court statement.  For example, if John is on the [[witness stand]] and says "Mary said that she was afraid." Mary is the declarant, not John.  This concept is important in understanding many applications of the hearsay rule and its exceptions.
