Iravadia is a genus of very small, somewhat land snails that have a gill and an operculum, semi-terrestrial gastropod mollusks or micromollusk in the family Iravadiidae.

These tiny snails live in damp habitat (under rotting vegetation) that is very close to the edge of the sea; they can tolerate being washed with saltwater during especially high tides. These snails are listed as freshwater snails by Vaught (1989).

William Thomas Blanford established the genus Iravadia within the family Rissoidae in 1867.

Species within the genus Iravadia include:
