Partula nodosa, commonly known as the Polynesian tree snail, is a small species of air-breathing tropical land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae, native to the western side of Tahiti in French Polynesia. It is classified as Extinct in the Wild, surviving only through captive breeding programs after predation by the invasive rosy wolf snail, introduced to Tahiti in 1977, eliminated wild populations by the 1980s.
