Struthiolaria is a genus of gastropod molluscs, the only genus in the family Struthiolariidae. The family is endemic to New Zealand, and the shells are known as ostrich foot shells.

A new genus within Struthiolariidae, Antactodarwinella, has been proposed to include Struthiolariid gastropods from Seymour Island in Antarctica, but this has yet to be accepted.
