Puncturella spirigera is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets.
Taxonomy Arnaud (1972) placed this species in synonymy of the widespread Puncturella conica (d'Orbigny, 1841) but this was rebutted by Dell (1990: 76).
Distribution This species occurs in the Davis Sea.
