List of non-marine molluscs of Martinique

Location of Martinique in the Caribbean

The non-marine molluscs of Martinique are a part of the molluscan fauna of Martinique (wildlife of Martinique). Martinique is a Caribbean island in the Lesser Antilles. A number of species of non-marine molluscs are found in the wild in Martinique.

There are at least 88 species of gastropods (10 native freshwater gastropods and 7 ^[1] species of introduced freshwater gastropods, 60 species of land gastropods) and 3 species of freshwater bivalve living in the wild.
