Teays, written Seays until circa 1884, is an unincorporated community in Putnam County, West Virginia, United States. The town is centered on the former general store / post office on Teays Lane, which sits across from the site of the Teays railroad depot, which was demolished in the mid-1900s.

Teays is a namesake and part of the census-designated place of Teays Valley, which was in turn named for Thomas Teays, a hunter and trapper who once spent a considerable amount of time in the vicinity.[1]

Geologist William G. Tight (1865–1910) named the preglacial Teays River after Teays, which lies in the "riverless" Teays Valley that once was the bottom of the river.[2]
