Virtual Villagers is a series of village simulator video games created and developed by Last Day of Work, an independent video game developer and publisher. Each game contains puzzles the player must complete to uncover the ethnic and cultural backgrounds surrounding fictional Polynesian island called Isola (EE-zoh-la). There are five portions to the island in which the game is set, representing the cardinal points and center of the compass.

There are five games in the series: Virtual Villagers: A New Home, Virtual Villagers 2: The Lost Children, Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City, Virtual Villagers 4: The Tree of Life, and Virtual Villagers 5: New Believers. The series was originally released for Windows with Virtual Villagers: A New Home later released for Mac OS X and for mobile devices. A spin-off of the series, Virtual Villagers Origins 2, was released for iOS and Android devices on 15 November 2017.
