Cylindrus obtusus is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Helicidae, the typical snails.
This species is endemic to Austria. It lives on certain mountain tops in the Eastern Alps, in limestone habitats, e.g. the Dürrnstein, Ötscher and Gesäuse Mountains. It often lives crowded, in moss, in rock crevices.
