The Fraser Valley Venom are a Canadian rugby union team based in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia. The team plays in the Rugby Canada Super League and draws most of its players from the Fraser Valley Rugby Union, one of fourteen Rugby Unions that have rep teams in the RCSL.

The Venom play their "home" games at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford.

The Venom won the 2000 championship defeating the Nova Scotia Keltics (15-9) and the 2001 Championship defeating the Toronto Renegades (20-14).

In 1998, Rugby Canada and the provincial unions agreed to form the Rugby Canada Super League. Fourteen unions and sub-unions were invited to compete in the new semi-professional league.
