Pseudalsophis is a genus of snakes in the family Colubridae. The genus is endemic to South America.
Species in the genus Pseudalsophis are found in Ecuador (particularly the Galápagos) and Peru.
Seven species are recognized as being valid.
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Pseudalsophis.
The specific names, slevini and steidachneri, are in honor of American herpetologist Joseph Richard Slevin and Austrian herpetologist Franz Steindachner, respectively.
