Amphiboloidea is a taxonomic superfamily of air-breathing land snails.
According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005), it is a superfamily in the informal group Basommatophora, within the Pulmonata.
This superfamily has contained only one family, the Amphibolidae.
Golding et al. (2007) have established new families:
Basommatophora (Siphonarioidea and Amphiboloidea and Hygrophila) have been found polyphyletic and so Jörger et al. (2010) have moved Amphiboloidea to Panpulmonata.
