Neritina reclivata is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Neritidae, the nerites.
The common name is olive nerite, but that same common name is also used for Neritina usnea.

This species is used as algae-eating snail among freshwater aquarists. In an aquarium, the shell of this species grows 1.3-2.5 cm[1]. This snail prefers an aquarium temperature of 22.2-25.6 °C.[1]
