The Followers of Set (Setites) are a fictional clan of vampires (also known as "The Snake Clan"), from White Wolf Game Studio's books and role-playing games set in the World of Darkness (Vampire: The Dark Ages and Vampire: The Masquerade).

Unlike most vampires, in the modern setting the Setites are associated with neither the Camarilla nor the Sabbat sect. Much of the Setite symbology is Egyptian, and they claim that their organization was founded by the god Set. They see themselves as having a divine mandate to gain control over others, ideally in a discreet and indirect manner.

The Setites are known as keepers of secrets, particularly those of a magical nature. The Followers of Set are generally found near Cairo, in sub-Saharan Africa, India, and the Caribbean. Even when compared to other vampires, the Setites are especially pained by sunlight.

In the Followers of Set Handbook it is revealed that the Setites were responsible for the Inquisition, which was a turning point in the fictional history of the World of Darkness.

The Mekhet can be seen as their successor in Vampire: The Requiem.
