The list of non-marine molluscs of Mozambique is a list of freshwater and land species that form a part of the molluscan fauna of Mozambique (wildlife of Mozambique).

The terrestrial malacofauna of Mozambique is underreported and under-collected. As a result, on the whole exact data are scarce.[1]

For example, there are known 46 species of terrestrial gastropods from Cabo Delgado Province, north-eastern corner of Mozambique,[2] 28 species of terrestrial gastropods from Gorongosa National Park including its surroundings.[1]
