Vasuki indicus is an extinct species of madtsoiid snake from the Middle Eocene Naredi Formation of India. V. indicus is the only species in the genus Vasuki, known from several vertebrae. Vasuki has an estimated body length between 10.9–15.2 m (36–50 ft), making it the largest known madtsoiid. The upper bounds of the length estimates would make Vasuki the longest snake ever discovered.
