Brookula decussata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk unassigned in the superfamily Seguenzioidea.[2]

This species is considered sometimes a synonym of Brookula pfefferi Powell, A.W.B., 1951,[3] but B. decussata is somewhat smaller and a has a more definite sculpture with fewer spirals and more axials.[4]
