Venersborg is a census-designated place (CDP) in Clark County, Washington, United States. The population was 3,274 at the 2000 census.

The community was established as "Venner's Villas" in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when a land entrepreneur named J. C. Lanerberg purchased land from various sources (the government, the railroad, and other landowners), divided the land into ten-acre lots, and marketed it in large urban areas throughout the United States, highlighting its resemblance to rural Sweden. As a result, many of the people moving into the area in between 1900 and 1940 were of Swedish ancestry. The growth of nearby Vancouver and Portland led to an influx of new residents in the 1960s.

The land was originally heavily timbered. A number of farms and orchards were established in the early 20th century, some of which still exist.

As of 2000, the community is still extremely rural; there is one store, which has closed and opened several times since the 1960s, and a small community church [http://www.venersborg.org] .
