Cecina is a genus of sea snails which have a gill and an operculum, gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Pomatiopsidae.

[1] They live in shallow waters in littoral and supralittoral habitats.

[3] The distribution of the genus Cecina includes the Sea of Japan in Primorsky Krai, Russia,[3] Japan[4] and Washington state, USA.

[2][4] The current classification of Cecina follows Davis (1979)[4] and other authors.

[6] In 1996, Larisa A. Prozorova reviewed the genus, described 6 new species of Cecina and re-established Cecina tatarica as a separate species.
