Founded in 1886, Weems is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Lancaster County in the U. S. state of Virginia.[2] It was first drawn as a CDP prior to the 2020 census.

Christ Church, physically located in Weems, was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961. Corotoman was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[3]

The community is in southern Lancaster County, at the end of Virginia State Route 222 (Weems Road) on the north bank of the tidal Rappahannock River, where it is joined by Carter Creek. Via VA 222 it is 6 miles (10 km) southwest of Kilmarnock, the largest town in the county. Aside from its historical significance as described above, Weems is a small, mostly residential community, but does operate waterside businesses and is a popular seaman's spot for berthing or entering Chesapeake Bay. Its majority of residents are middle aged to retirement age (45–80).[citation needed]
