Storeria is a genus of snakes in the subfamily Natricinae of the family Colubridae. The genus is endemic to North America and Central America. The genus consists of five species, four of which are known as brown snakes, and one of which is known as the redbelly snake. These snakes, which are non-venomous, are not to be confused with highly venomous Australian brown snakes from the genus Pseudonaja.
