Slovakia is a land-locked country, and therefore the molluscs of Slovakia are all land and freshwater species. There are 247 Horsák M., Juřičková L., Beran L., Čejka T. & Dvořák L. (2010). "Komentovaný seznam měkkýšů zjištěných ve volné přírodě České a Slovenské republiky. [Annotated list of mollusc species recorded outdoors in the Czech and Slovak Republics]". Malacologica Bohemoslovaca, Suppl. 1: 1-37. PDF. species of molluscs living in the wild in Slovakia. In addition there are 9 gastropod species living only in greenhouses.
There are a total of 219 species of gastropods, which breaks down to 51 species of freshwater gastropods, and 168 species of land gastropods, plus 28 species of bivalves living in the wild.
There are 8 non-indigenous gastropod species (3 freshwater and 5 land species) and 3 species of bivalves in the wild in Slovakia. This is a total of 6 freshwater non-indigenous species of wild molluscs.

There are 2 extinct species in Slovakia (locally extinct): Theodoxus transversalis and Esperiana esperi.
There are endemic species of molluscs in Slovakia: Alzoniella slovenica in Slovakia (and in Moravia in the Czech Republic too) Alopia bielzii clathrata (Rossmässler, 1857) Deroceras fatrense
