Heleobia is a genus of small freshwater and brackish water snails with a gill and an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the family Cochliopidae and the superfamily Truncatelloidea.^[4]

Heleobia is one of three genera (together with Semisalsa and Heleobops) within the subfamily Semisalsinae.^[5] Some authors treate Semisalsa as a subgenus of Heleobia.^[5]
