Brachytoma is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae.
R.N. Kilburn proposed in 1989 the name Brachytoma to be rejected, since the type species Pleurotoma strombiformis G. B. Sowerby II, 1839 is considered a nomen dubium and there is no valid ground for conferring type status upon it.
