"Pedicularia" is a genus of small predatory or ectoectoparasitic sea snails, cowry-like marine gastropod molluscs in the family Ovulidae, the cowry allies. These snails live on and feed on certain corals.

Members of this genus have small, apparently cap-shaped, shells. The outer lip of the aperture is thin, irregular, and is often flared to fit the base of attachment, which is usually a stylasterid coral.

Species occur in most warm seas, at moderate depth.
