In the fictional world of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, a vampire is a species of demon which inhabits and animates a human corpse. In Fray, a Buffy comic book spin-off, vampires are also called lurks.
The vampires in the canonical Buffyverse differ greatly from the ones which appear in the 1992 Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. The non-canonical vampires are able to fly, look pale but relatively human, and don't crumble to dust when killed.
The canonical vampires, introduced in the first episode of the TV series, are explained as demons inhabiting human corpses; when the ancient demons known as the Old Ones were banished from Earth, the last one fed on a human and mixed their blood, creating the first vampire. This was later contradicted by Illyria who remarks that vampires existed during her time as an Old One, long before the rest were banished from the realm (though she may have been referring to the Turok-Han, a more primitive type of vampire).
