Partula mooreana, common name the Moorean viviparous tree snail, is a species of air-breathing tropical land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae.

Shell sinistral, ovate, elongate, thin, translucent, pale yellowish horn-color, apex darker; whorls 5, flatly convex, body whorl, with or without from one to three narrow, pale, brown revolving bands; surface smooth, with fine, oblique striations, which are decussated by crowded waved spiral striae; a narrow white line beneath the suture; aperture hearly half the length of the shell, lip white, moderately reflected, pillar tooth oval, prominent, situated nearest the superior angle, umbilicus open, moderately compressed.

— Vaianai Valley, Island of Moorea (Andrew Garrett, Esq.).

In one hundred and forty-six species and varieties of Partula represented in my collection, this shell possesses constant and well-marked specific characters.

The surface of the shell resembles P. spadicea and varieties from Moorea in possessing the thickly crowded waved spiral striae.
