This is a '''list of malacologists''', people who study or studied [[mollusks]]. It is a list of notable scientists, [[biologist]]s, [[Zoology|zoologists]] or [[naturalist]]s, who are or were interested in [[malacology]], which is the scientific study of the [[Mollusca]]. Many of these malacologists are notable for having [[Alpha taxonomy#Describing species|named species]] and other [[taxon|taxa]] of mollusks. People who specialize in studying only or primarily the [[Mollusc shell|shells of mollusks]] are sometimes called [[Conchology|conchologists]] instead of malacologists.


This is a '''list of malacologists''', scientists who study [[mollusks]], such as snails, clams, [[cephalopods]], and others, in a discipline named [[malacology]]. People who specialize in studying only or primarily the [[Mollusc shell|shells of mollusks]] are sometimes called [[Conchology|conchologists]] instead of malacologists. Many of these malacologists are notable for having [[Alpha taxonomy#Describing species|named species]] and other [[taxon|taxa]] of mollusks.
This list focuses primarily on people who study or studied [[recent]] taxa of mollusks rather than [[fossil]] mollusks, i.e., only a few [[paleontologist]]s are included here. The list includes malacologists who are still alive, as well as those who lived in previous centuries. The list also includes researchers who devoted some of their research effort to malacology and some to other sciences.

American malacologists at a Washington meeting in 1914.

John Brooks Henderson Jr. (1870–1923) (back right),
Henry Augustus Pilsbry (1862–1957) (front left),
William Healey Dall (1845–1927) (front center),
Paul Bartsch (1871–1960) (front right).

This is a list of malacologists, scientists who study mollusks, such as snails, clams, cephalopods, and others, in a discipline named malacology. People who specialize in studying only or primarily the shells of mollusks are sometimes called conchologists instead of malacologists. Many of these malacologists are notable for having named species and other taxa of mollusks.

This list focuses primarily on people who study or studied recent taxa of mollusks rather than fossil mollusks, so only a few paleontologists are included here. The list also includes researchers who devoted some of their research effort to malacology and some to other sciences.[1][2]

Considering that mollusks are such a very large and diverse phylum of invertebrates, malacology in general is greatly understaffed in its research efforts.[3] For example, there is no living malacological expert who can properly identify all the species of Onchidiidae (about 143 species).[4] There are also not enough malacologists studying freshwater snails.[5]
