"Rhodacme" is a genus of gastropod in the Ancylidae family.

These animals have a pallial lung, as do all pulmonate snails, but they also have a false gill or "pseudobranch". This serves as a gill as, in their non-tidal habitat, these limpets never reach the surface for air.

It contains the following species:
* Domed ancylid, "Rhodacme elatior"
* Wicker ancylid, "Rhodacme filosa"
