The Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, marketed as Virginia MOCA, is a non-collecting contemporary art museum and community art center in Virginia Beach, Virginia, widely known for its annual Boardwalk Art Show.

Virginia MOCA itself evolved from a succession of local art associations: the Virginia Beach Art Association (VBAA, 1952-1971), the Virginia Beach Art Center (1971-1989) and the Virginia Contemporary Art Center (1989-2010). Virginia MOCA is located just off the Virginia Beach oceanfront.

In July of 2023, Virginia MOCA said it would move to a new facility to be constructed at the Virginia Beach campus of Virginia Wesleyan University.
