Virginia Falls (Nailicho ) is a waterfall in Nahanni National Park Reserve, Northwest Territories, Canada. It is on the South Nahanni River, at an elevation of 500 m. It is located 120 km from the Yukon border.

An American adventurer and businessman from Long Island, New York, named Fenley Hunter, under the employ of the Geological Survey of Canada, explored the region during the summer of 1928 and named the waterfall after his daughter.

It has a total drop of 96 m, making it about twice the height of Niagara Falls. It consists of a single drop with an average width of 259 m. The rock in the centre of the falls is called Mason's Rock, named after Bill Mason, a Canadian canoeist, author, and filmmaker.
