Virginia is a genus of small, terrestrial, colubrid snakes, native to the United States.

Ranges overlap; it is unknown if hybridization occurs.

Virginia species are small snakes, rarely exceeding 10 inches (25 cm) in total length (including tail).

Virginia species are fossorial, spending the vast majority of their time buried in loose soil, under rotting logs, or in leaf litter.

They eat earthworms and soft bodied arthropods.
