Volia is an extinct genus of mekosuchine crocodylian from Fiji. It was around 2–3 metres (7–10 ft) long. Notwithstanding its small size, it was probably the top predator of the Pleistocene ecosystems of Fiji.
Fossils of Volia athollandersoni have been found in the Fiji Islands at Voli-Voli Cave and Wainibuku Cave. The holotype for Volia athollandersoni is in the collection of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
