'''''Pila ampullacea''''', is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Ampullariidae, the apple snails.<ref name="WoRMS">{{WRMS species|737456|''Pila ampullacea'' (Linnaeus, 1758)|28 May 2025}}</ref>

==Distribution== This species occurs in Southeast Asia: Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines

==Description== The height of the shell varies between {{Convert|60|and|105|mm}}, its diameter between {{convert|50|and|100|mm}}.

(Original description in Latin) The shell is subumbilicate, subrotund, and smooth. Its whorls are more ventricose above, and the umbilicus is covered. The aperture is ovate-oblong.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Linnaeus |first1=C. |title=Systema Naturae per regna tria naturae, secundum classes, ordines, genera, species, cum characteribus, differentiis, synonymis, locis.

(Described in Latin as ''Ampullaria gruneri'') The shell is ovate-globose and umbilically perforated, appearing somewhat rugose and olive-colored. Brown zones are present, barely shining through the rather thick, very smooth epidermis. The spire nearly exceeds one-third of the total height. The whorls are rounded, with the body whorl being slightly more swollen in its upper part. The aperture is ovate-oblong and semilunate, displaying a yellowish-brown band. The peristome is slightly thickened internally and pale fulvous. The outer lip is straight, and the columellar margin is reflexed.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Philippi |first1=R.A. |title=Die Gattung Ampullaria. In Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen.

==As food== ''Pila ampullacea'', together with ''Pila pesmei'', are indigenous rice field snail species traditionally eaten in Thailand that have been displaced by the invasive golden apple snail, ''Pomacea canaliculata''.<ref>''Heavy Predation on Freshwater Bryozoans by the Golden Apple Snail, Pomacea canaliculata Lamarck, 1822 (Ampullariidae)''; The Natural History Journal of Chulalongkorn University 6(1): 31-36, May 2006</ref> In Indonesia, it is famous as ''keong sawah'' or ''tutut'' (from {{Langx|su|ᮒᮥᮒᮥᮒ᮪|lit=|translit=Tutut}}) as traditional cuisine which is often boiled or grilled as satay.
