"Pomatias elegans" is a species of small land snail with an operculum, a terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the family Pomatiasidae.

This species lives only in areas where there are high levels of calcium, such as on limestone or chalk rock, where there is loose and friable soil. This snail is also sometimes found in coastal sand dunes where the sand has many shell fragments mixed in.
