Freshwater snails are gastropod mollusks that live in fresh water. There are many different families. They are found throughout the world in various habitats, ranging from ephemeral pools to the largest lakes, and from small seeps and springs to major rivers.

These belong to two different evolutionary lineages , i.e. freshwater mussels and freshwater clams , and the two groups are not closely related.
