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.[http://www.mollbase.de/list/deunam.htm List of German land and freshwater molluscs including their common names Diskussionsfassung (in Bearbeitung)]

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.
