List of non-marine molluscs of Australia
This is a very incomplete list of the non-marine molluscs of the country of Australia. They are part of the invertebrate fauna of Australia.
Freshwater gastropods
The freshwater molluscs of Australia vary greatly in size, shape, biology and evolutionary history, and more than 99% of the native species occur nowhere else on earth. Currently, there are more than 400 native described species and a further 100 species that are undescribed. A Lucid multi-access key for them, together with descriptions is found at Australian Freshwater Molluscs, Revision 1A.

The freshwater mollusks of Australia vary greatly in size, shape, biology and evolutionary history, and more than 99% of the native species occur nowhere else on earth. Currently, there are 46 bivalve species that are described with several other known species yet to be described. Corbulidae Cyrenidae Hyriidae Lasaeidae Mytilidae (brackish) Sphaeriidae Trapezidae
