Vipera ursinii is a species of venomous snake in the subfamily Viperinae of the family Viperidae. It is a very rare species, which is in danger of extinction. This species is commonly called the meadow viper, Ursini' s viper,[4] or meadow adder.[5] It is found in France, Italy, and Greece as well as much of eastern Europe.[6] Several subspecies are recognized.[7] Beyond the highly threatened European population, poorly known populations exist as far to the east as Kazakhstan and northwestern China.
