Parafossarulus priscillae is an extinct species of freshwater snail with gills and an operculum, an aquatic prosobranch gastropod mollusk in the family Bithyniidae.

Glöer (2002)[2] reassigned two European extinct species of Parafossarulus to a subgenus of the genus Bithynia, but the genus Parafossarulus is generally accepted for Asian species.
