The non-marine molluscs of Kenya are a part of the molluscan fauna of Kenya (wildlife of Kenya).
A number of species of non-marine molluscs are found in the wild in Kenya.
There are 514 species of land snails in Kenya.Wronski T. & Hausdorf B. (2010). "Diversity and body-size patterns of land snails in rain forests in Uganda". Journal of Molluscan Studies 76(1): 87–100. .
