Valeriu Pleșca (born 8 November 1958) is a Moldovan lawyer and politician. He served as Minister of Defense of Moldova between 29 December 2004 and 11 June 2007.[1]

On 25 November 2025, Pleșca was subject to searches by the Moldovan Police over a case regarding illegal financing and corrupt interest in the electoral process of the 2025 Moldovan parliamentary election, with him not being retained by police due to his health conditions. Pleșca had led the Christian-Social Union of Moldova (UCSM) until the election's eve, when he handed over the party's leadership to journalist Gabriel Călin, who was retained on 30 September over illegal party financing.[2]
