'''''Corbicula''''' is a [[genus]] of [[freshwater]] and [[brackish]] water [[clam]]s, [[Aquatic animal|aquatic]] [[bivalve]] [[mollusk]]s in the family [[Cyrenidae]], the basket clams.<ref name="WoRMS">Gofas, S. (2015). Cyrenidae Gray, 1847. In: MolluscaBase (2015). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=238370 on 2015-08-26</ref> The genus name is the [[New Latin]] diminutive of [[Latin]] ''corbis'', a basket, referring to the shape and ribs of the shell. In many Asian countries, these clams are used as ingredients for soup. In [[South Korea]], there is popular soup made of these species of clams (usually [[Corbicula japonica]], [[Corbicula fluminea]], [[Corbicula leana]]) known as 재첩국 (jaechup-guk).

The genus ''Corbicula'' includes 16 [[species]] described to date. The best known is ''[[Corbicula fluminea]]'', an [[invasive species]] in many areas of the world.
