Leidyula floridana, common name the Florida leatherleaf, is a species of tropical air-breathing land slugs, shell-less terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Veronicellidae.
This slug is native to the Caribbean (Cuba to Jamaica) and southern Florida, but has spread to northern Florida. The slug is also found in Louisiana and Texas.
