The Saint Croix racer (Borikenophis sanctaecrucis)[2] is a possibly extinct species of snake in the family Colubridae that is endemic to the island of Saint Croix in the United States Virgin Islands.

The specific name, sanctaecrucis, refers to the island of Saint Croix,[3] on which the holotype was collected.

If it is extinct, the most probable causes were due to predation from introduced mongooses and deforestation of its habitat.

However, recent rediscoveries of other Caribbean reptiles that were also thought extinct brings hope that a small population (probably less than 50 individuals) of B. sanctaecrucis survives somewhere in St. Croix.
