Rissoa parva is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc or micromollusc in the family Rissoidae.{{WRMS species|141365|Rissoa parva (da Costa, 1778)|||Gofas, S. (2010).

Taxonomy
File:Rissoa parva interrupta var. bifasciata 01.jpg
The status of R. interrupta in relation to R. parva is still a point of discussion. Based on research of Wigham (1975), R. interrupta is considered by many authors as a variety of form of R. parva (Fretter & Graham, 1778; McKay & Smith, 1979). Nordsieck (1968) and Verduin (1976) think however that R. interrupta and R. parva are two different species. Both species have a sympatric appearance.
