Dipsas is a genus of nonvenomous New World snakes in the subfamily Dipsadinae of the family Colubridae.

The genus Dipsas includes over 30 distinct species.

[2] Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Dipsas.

Coloration and color pattern may vary, but often consist of black and brown, frequently with alternating rings separated by white.

[5][6] Species in the genus Dipsas are mostly arboreal snakes that mainly feed on land snails and slugs.
