Pomacea cumingii is a species of freshwater snail in the family Ampullariidae. It is native to Saboga. A non-native population has been found in Puerto Rico.

Two subspecies of P. cumingii are recognized: P. c. cumingii and P. c. sanjoseensis (Morrison, 1946). P. c. sanjoseensis is found only in a few small streams on Isla San José and is larger than the other subspecies.
