Limacoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of medium-sized to large, air-breathing land slugs and snails. They are terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the infraorder Stylommatophora (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).
The Helixarionoidea were previously placed in this superfamily.
The following four families have been recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):
