Angaria delphinus, common name the common delphinula, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc of the family Turbinidae, the turbans and star snails.

The shell of this species is variable in degree of sculpture, depending on how exposed or sheltered the environment is in which the snail lives. These different forms are called ecomorphs. [1]
