Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a feared component in over 200 interstitial pulmonary diseases, which are characterized by increased alveolar wall thickness, excessive scarring, and aberrant extracellular matrix restructuring that, ultimately, affect lung compliance and capacity. As a result of its broad range of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and many others, resveratrol has been shown to be an effective treatment for respiratory system diseases, including interstitial lung disease, infectious diseases, and lung cancer. This work reviews the known molecular therapeutic targets of resveratrol and its potential mechanisms of action in attenuating PF in respiratory diseases, including cancer, COVID-19, interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) of known etiologies, idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, and ILDs associated with systemic disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, Schrödinger’s syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and pulmonary hypertension. The current issues and controversies related to the possible use of resveratrol as a pharmaceutical drug or supplement are also discussed.
