Boa Constrictor is the common name for any snake of the genus Boa. Note that although Boa is the name of this particular genus, the members of the family Boidae are collectively called boas - and they are all constrictors.

Snakes of this genus are very common in Latin America, and perhaps the most sought after as pets. They can grow up to 5 m and feed on birds and small mammals.

"Boa Constrictor" is also the name of a style of chess gameplay most famously utilized by the former champion Anatoly Karpov.
