Margarites helicinus, common name the helicina margarite or spiral margarite, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Margaritidae. Margarites helicinus has been established by Phipps in 1774 and not by Fabricus in 1780 as Winchworth (1932), Sneli (1970) (and others) mention. Dall established in 1919 two varieties, but both have become synonyms of Margarites helicinus.
