Brachytoma is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae.[1][2]

R.N. Kilburn proposed in 1989 the name Brachytoma to be rejected, since the type species Pleurotoma strombiformis G. B. Sowerby II, 1839 is considered a nomen dubium and there is no valid ground for conferring type status upon it.[3]
