Șaptebani is a village in Rîșcani District, Moldova. The village centre is located at an altitude of 171 meters.

Șaptebani was first mentioned in documents in 1425. There is a World War II memorial in the central square. The local geography of open plains broken by rolling hills and gullies show a major tank battle, with many thousands killed. After the war, some of the local inhabitants were deported to Siberia for up to 15 years. In an unusual gesture, the local school conferred honorary degrees on the returnees.
