Marshallena is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Marshallenidae.
R.S. Allen (1927) did not specify a type species for this genus. H.J. Finlay (1927) selected Belophos incertus Marshall, 1919, which was amended by Powell (1966 + 1969) to † Daphnella neozelanica Suter, 1917.Beu, A. G., et al. "Request for rulings on works on New Zealand Mollusca by RS Allan and HJ Finlay." Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 26.1 (1969): 42-50.
Before 2018 this genus belonged to the family Horaiclavidae.
