Craspedaria coronula is a species of air-breathing land snail in the genus Geomitridae.^[2]

Craspedaria coronula is endemic to the Madeira Archipelago, and is currently only found on Deserta Grande Island. It was originally described by English malacologist Richard Thomas Lowe in 1852, from a Quaternary fossil deposit found in the southern part of Bugio Island.

It has a conical white shell, 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) in width and 3.5–4.5 mm (0.14–0.18 in) in length, with five whorls.^[1]
