Virginia Company henviser samlet til to aktieselskaber, der blev oprettet under James I den 10. april 1606 med det formål at etablere bosættelser på den nordamerikanske kyst. Selskaberne blev kaldt "Virginia Company of London" (eller London Company) og "Virginia Company of Plymouth" (eller Plymouth Company); de opererede med identiske chartre, men med forskellige territorier. Der blev oprettet et område med overlappende territorium, inden for hvilket de to selskaber ikke måtte etablere kolonier inden for en afstand af 100 miles fra hinanden. Plymouth-kompagniet opfyldte aldrig sin charter, men dets territorium blev hævdet af England og blev til New England.
The Virginia Company refers collectively to two joint stock companies chartered under James I on 10 April 1606 with the goal of establishing settlements on the coast of North America. The companies were called the "Virginia Company of London" (or the London Company) and the "Virginia Company of Plymouth" (or the Plymouth Company); they operated with identical charters but with differing territories. An area of overlapping territory was created within which the two companies were not permitted to establish colonies within one hundred miles of each other. The Plymouth Company never fulfilled its charter, but its territory was claimed by England and became New England.
