Lists or rankings of the world's "most venomous snakes" or "most dangerous snakes" are tentative and differ greatly due to numerous factors, including the recentness and reliability of the data, the number of species analyzed, and the testing methods used.

The common name 'black widow spider' is most commonly used to refer to the three North American species.
