Falkneria camerani is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Hygromiidae, the hairy snails and their allies.

This species is endemic to Italy. Its natural habitat is rocky areas. It is threatened by habitat loss.

This is one of the most endangered mollusk species in Italy. It occurs only in the Valley Sessera in Valle d'Aosta.

This taxon was incorrectly listed by Giusti & Manganelli in 1990, as "Falkneri camerani", due to an orthographic error.
