Als Giftschlangen werden Schlangen bezeichnet, die zur Jagd auf Beute und zur Verteidigung Giftstoffe einsetzen. Durch das bei dem Biss injizierte Gift wird das Beutetier getötet oder ein Angreifer zumindest vergiftet. Von den gut 3400 weltweit bekannten Schlangenarten sind deutlich mehr als die oft kolportierten 10 % giftig. Nachweislich giftig sind beispielsweise die kompletten Familien der Giftnattern und der Vipern sowie die Erdvipern . Laut der Reptile Database gibt es derzeit 351 Arten der Giftnattern, 321 Arten der Vipern und 22 Arten der Erdvipern. Diese Familien enthalten ausschließlich Giftschlangen. Damit sind allein aus diesen drei Familien schon 694 Giftschlangen bekannt. Dazu addieren sich noch diverse weitere giftige Schlangen aus anderen Familien, wie beispielsweise die Boomslang aus der Familie der Nattern.
