Eoborus sanctijosephi is a fossil species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Strophocheilidae, from the Paleocene Itaboraí Basin, Brazil.Salvador, R.B. & Simone, L.R.L. 2012. New fossil pulmonate snails from the Paleocene of Itaboraí Basin, Brazil (Pulmonata: Cerionidae, Strophocheilidae, Orthalicidae). Archiv für Molluskenkunde 141(1): 43-50. {{doi|10.1127/arch.moll/1869-0963/141/043-050}} Eoborus sanctijosephi is a large species in the genus Eoborus. Its name makes reference to the place of discovery: the São José de Itaboraí municipality, where Itaboraí Basin is located.

The species was originally described as Strophocheilus sanctijosephi, but was later transferred to the genus Eoborus.Klappenbach, M.A. & Olazarri, J. 1970. Notas sobre Strophocheilidae (Moll. Gastr.), III. Eoborus, nuevo género paraespecies fósiles de esta familia sudamericana. Archiv für Molluskenkunde 100(3/4): 179-182. The species Vorticifex fluminensis (Brito, 1967) was considered to be the fragment of the spire top of E. sanctijosephi and, thus, its synonym.Salvador, R.B. & Simone, L.R.L.
