A '''Visual Basic project file''' lists the files which are part of a project for [[Visual Basic]], and defines how they are grouped.

The original files were in an [[ASCII]]-based format with a .vbp extension. Later, the Visual Studio .NET version of Visual Basic projects was introduced using a .vbproj extension and [[XML]]-based format.

There are also [[Visual Studio Solution File]]s (.sln), which group together multiple .vbproj project files (or other project files used in Visual Studio).
