Hemitoma is a genus of slit limpets, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets and slit limpets.
In this genus of fissurellid, there is an inconspicuous notch at the anterior end of the shell rather than a slit. The notch is best seen in an interior view of the shell.
