鳞角腹足蜗牛（学名：Chrysomallon squamiferum）是一种生活在深海热泉的海螺，屬於Peltospiridae（英语：Peltospiridae）科的海洋腹足纲软体动物物种，也是鳞角腹足蜗牛属（Chrysomallon）的单型种。本物種不單與其他深海腹足綱物種相異甚遠，就連同屬Neomphaloidea總科的物種亦與之相異甚遠。 其螺殼雖然亦是與其他腹足綱物種一樣由三層組成，但部分的化學構成有所不同：最外一層由硫化鐵組成，中間一層相當於其他物種的有機外殼膜，而最裡層則由霰石構成。其腹足亦很特別，裹有礦物化了的鐵構成的鱗甲。這亦是本物種的名稱由來。 其異常大的食道腺住有共生性Γ-變形菌，；而其心臟按其身體體型與其他動物來比較亦是異常的大，佔了整個身體的4%體積。
