The Snake Woman (also released as The Terror of the Snake Woman) is a 1961 British horror film directed by Sidney J. Furie from a screenplay by Orville H. Hampton, and starring Susan Travers, John McCarthy, Geoffrey Denton, Elsie Wagstaff, Arnold Marlé and John Cazabon.

The film is set in a small Northumbrian village at the turn of the 20th century. It tells the story of Atheris, a young woman who has the power to transform from human to cobra, and the Scotland Yard detective sent to investigate a series of deaths, unusual because all the victims died after being bitten by snakes that are not native to the UK.

The Snake Woman distributed by United Artists. It premiered in the United States on April 26, 1961, on a double bill with Doctor Blood's Coffin, which was produced at the same time and shares much of the same crew.
