Parthenocissus, is a genus of tendril climbing plants in the grape family, Vitaceae. It contains about 12 species native to North America. Several are grown for notably P. henryana, P. quinquefolia and P. tricuspidata. The name derives from the Greek parthenos, "virgin", kissos, "ivy"; the reason is variously given as the ability of these creepers to form seeds without pollination or the English name of P. quinquefolia, Virginia creeper, which has become attached to the whole genus. Among the middle Miocene Sarmatian palynoflora from the Lavanttal Basin Austria researchers have recognized Parthenocissus fossil pollen; the sediment containing the Parthenocissus fossil pollen had accumulated in a lowland wetland environment with various vegetation units of mixed evergreen/deciduous broadleaved/conifer forests surrounding the wetland basin. Key relatives of the fossil taxa found with Parthenocissus are presently confined to humid warm temperate environments, suggesting a subtropical climate during the middle Miocene in Austria.

Parthenocissus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the brown-tail and Gothic. Three leaved Parthenocissus chinensis, this species grows in dry areas between 1300 and 2300 m in China in the west of both Sichuan and Yunnan. Parthenocissus heterophylla, from China and Taiwan Parthenocissus semicordata, from the Himalayas Parthenocissus feddei, this species grows in rocky places between elevations of 600 and 1100 m in the Chinese provinces of Guangdong, Guizhou and Hunan Five leaved Parthenocissus henryana, Chinese Virginia creeper from China Parthenocissus laetevirens One or three leaved Parthenocissus dalzielii, from east and south-east Asia Parthenocissus suberosa Parthenocissus tricuspidata, Japanese creeper or Boston ivy, from eastern Asia Seven or five-leaved Parthenocissus heptaphylla, sevenleaf creeper, from Texas and Mexico Parthenocissus vitacea, thicket creeper, woodbine, or grape woodbine, from western and northern North America Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Virginia creeper, from eastern North America
