The Nansemond language is an extinct language that was spoken by the Nansemond people of Virginia, United States.

The Nansemond language may have been a member of the Algonquian language family, similar to that of many other Atlantic coastal tribes. However, only six words have been preserved, which are not enough to identify and classify it.[1]
