Mangelia is a large genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Mangeliidae.
The genus has been used for a long time as a wastebasket taxon. There have been many described species, many of which have become synonyms. Among the remaining accepted names a good number are still in doubt and are little known. They are only tentatively placed within the genus Mangelia.
