Margarya francheti is a species of large operculate freshwater snail, an aquatic gastropod mollusc in the family Viviparidae, the river snails.

(2013) introduced a new subgenus, Mabillemargarya, for M. francheti;[2] however, this taxonomic act is not supported by comparative morphology and molecular phylogenetics.

Therefore, Mabillemargarya is considered as a junior synonym of Margarya.

[1] The distribution of Margarya francheti includes Dian Lake, Erhai Lake, Jianhu Lake in Yunnan Province, China.
