Onchidium is a genus of air-breathing sea slugs, shell-less marine pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Onchidiidae.

Species

Some authors recognize only four species in the genus. The World Register of Marine Species lists six species as accepted.

Onchidium multinotatum, originally described within the genus in 1883, is regarded as a nomen dubium.
