Nerita peloronta, common name the "bleeding tooth", is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Neritidae.

Its surface can have slightly raised spiral ridges.

The color of the shell is yellow, reddish, or creamy, with darker streaks or zigzags.

Although many nerites have "teeth" on the columellar edge, this species is notable for the fact that it has an area of red coloration next to the "teeth", hence the common name "Bleeding Tooth".

Intertidal splash zones on hard rocky shorelines facing regular wave action.
