Spectamen is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Trochidae, the top shells.
The shells vary from trochiform to depressed turbinate, but always widely umbilicated. The radula is Calliostoma-like, with a central, three laterals, each with a long denticulate cusp, and relatively few slender smooth marginals.
