This list of non-marine molluscs of Germany is a list of the molluscs that live in Germany, excluding the marine (saltwater) species. In other words, it includes the land snails and slugs, the freshwater snails and the freshwater clams and mussels.

There are about 349 species of non-marine mollusc living in the wild in Germany. Of these, 70 species are freshwater gastropods and 39 species are bivalves. There are 45 introduced gastropod species (6 freshwater and 36 land species) and 3 introduced bivalve species living in the wild in Germany.

Summary table of number of species
Germany
freshwater gastropods 70
land gastropods 240
gastropods altogether 310
bivalves 39
molluscs altogether 349
non-indigenous gastropods in the wild 6 freshwater and 36 land
non-indigenous bivalves in the wild 3
non-indigenous molluscs altogether in the wild 45


Some non-indigenous species only occurring greenhouses in Germany are noted separately, below the list.

The main source for the list of freshwater species is the book Süsswassermollusken by Glöer & Meier-Brook.
