Succinea, common name the amber snails, is a genus of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Succineidae.

Species in this genus usually live in damp habitats such as marshes. The common name refers to the fact that live snails in this genus are translucent and similar to amber in appearance.
