White Snake (simplified Chinese: 白蛇：缘起; traditional Chinese: 白蛇：緣起; pinyin: Báishé: Yuánqǐ; Wade–Giles: Pai2shê2: Yüan2ch'ih3; lit. 'White Snake: The Origin') is a 2019 adult animated fantasy film directed by Amp Wong and Zhao Ji, with animation production by Light Chaser Animation.

The protagonist is a young adult white snake-demon Blanca (Bai Suzhen) who has taken on the appearance of a lovely human woman.

The two eventually fall in love, which strongly displeases her younger sister, Verta (Xiaoqing), the green snake-demon.
