Morchella virginiana is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae native to North America. Described as new to science in 2012, it occurs in southeastern hardwood forests. It has been collected from North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi and Virginia, often near the American tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera).[1]

In 2014, Richard et al. clarified the taxonomic status of this species, retaining the name Morchella sceptriformis of Clowez (2012) over M. virginiana.[2][3]
