Zmija Facula is a bright region on the surface of Mercury, located within an unnamed crater that is itself within the larger Rembrandt basin. It was named by the IAU in June 2020.[1] Zmija is the Serbian word for snake.

To the northwest of the facula, along the northwest rim of the unnamed crater, is a dark spot of low reflectance material (LRM), closely associated with hollows.[2]
