}}

Albinaria ariadne is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Clausiliidae, the door snails.{{Cite web |url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=1993898 |title=Taxonomy Browser |website=www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov |publisher=National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine |language=en |publication-place=US |access-date=2019-01-05}} The species is endemic to Crete.

It has been stated that further research is necessary whether Albinaria ariadne is an independent species. Based on shell characters it seems closely related to Albinaria idaea, except that Albinaria ariadne has a weak basalis.Welter-Schultes, F. 2010.
