List of non-marine molluscs of Brazil

The non-marine molluscs of Brazil are a part of the molluscan fauna of Brazil.

There are at least 1074[1] native nominal species of non-marine molluscs living in Brazil.

There are at least 956[1] nominal species of gastropods, which breaks down to about 250 species of freshwater gastropods, and about 700[1] species of land gastropods (590 species of snails[2] and approximately 110(?) species of slugs), plus at least 117[1] species of bivalves living in the wild.

There are at least 373 species of freshwater molluscs in Brazil.[1]

The number of native species is at least 1074[1] and the number of non-indigenous molluscs in Brazil is, at minimum, 32 species.[1] The most serious invasive alien species in Paraná State are the land snail Achatina fulica and the freshwater snail Melanoides tuberculata.[3]
