The answer depends on your definition of statement, It is a grammatical correct English declarative sentence which may be a statement by one definition. However, in logic, a statement is defined to be a sentence that is either true or false but not both. This sentence is not a statement by this definition.
It is neither true nor false, because if is true, since it says it is false, it is false. If it is false. then is true since that is exactly what it says.

∙ 6y agoThe self-referential statement could be either true or false, and there is no distinction between the conditions. It would have to make some factual assertion to determine which was the case.
If it is true, then it is true (that it is true).
If it is false, then it is correct that it is false (that it is not true).
The use of a self-reference creates what is known as the Liar's Paradox.
"This statement is true" can be either true or false, because if it were false, it would still be false. Or to better phrase it, the statement is either truth or a lie. This is a version of the logic puzzle about a liar who cannot tell the truth, and therefore cannot say "I am a liar." (see related question)

But if the statement is true, then "This statement is false" is true, making the statement false. But if the statement is false, then "This statement is false", is a lie, making it "This statement is true." The statement is now true. But if the statement is true, then...
