The Virginia Squires were a basketball franchise in the former American Basketball Association that existed from 1967 through 1976. The Squires were founded in 1967 as the Oakland Oaks, a charter member of the ABA. The team colors were green and gold.

They were probably noted more for a major contract dispute with the cross-bay San Francisco Warriors of the established National Basketball Association over the rights to star player Rick Barry than for any on-court accomplishments.
