Ebala is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Ebalinae, family Murchisonellidae.^[2]

Members of the genus Ebala are small (<4 mm) gastropods, the shells of which have a sinistral protoconch. The shell is transparent, sometimes with opaque spots. In contrast to most of the families in the parent superfamily Pyramidelloidea, they do possess a radula. They are found in tropical to temperate waters, often associated with sea grass beds (e.g. Posidonia and Zostera).^{[citation needed]}
