Otina ovata is a species of small, air-breathing sea snail or sea slug, a marine pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the superfamily Otinoidea.

Otina ovata is the only species in the genus Otina.[7][8] Otina is the only genus in the family Otinidae.[8][9]

This family was classified within the clade Eupulmonata, which was within the informal group Basommatophora, according to the Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[10]

Various authors have referred some North American fossil shells to "Otinidae",[1] but they did not give a genus or species for these records.
