No. There are the United States Virgin Islands, and the British Virgin Islands. They are located in the Caribbean, and could be considered a part of the West Indies geographically. But, there is a slight difference that is difficult to explain. Caribbean people migrate among the islands a lot. So, West Indian culture is very much a part of the USVI and the BVI. However, BVI and USVI culture is not necessarily West Indian culture. They were also never a part of the 'now dissolved' federation of the West Indies, which West Indians tend to think of when they refer to the W.I. Your question is like asking if Puerto Rico is a part of the West Indies. It is and it isn't. Semantics basically. But, no. The Virgin Islands are not a part of the West Indies as West Indians understand things. You ask a St. Thomian where they're from they tell you the VI. You ask a Jamaican, Antiguan, or Trinidadian, and the same question and they'll tell you the West Indies.
